Stand Up/ Sit Down
Activity, Stage 3 – Number Bonds
The setup
Have everyone in a place where it is easy to stand up and sit down. Designate someone to lead.
How to play
Suppose the leader selects the number 10. If the leader says the number 10, or anything that equals 10, such as 7 + 3, everyone stands up. If the leader says any other number, or anything not equal to 10, then everyone sits down. The leader can try to trick everyone else by standing up or sitting down when everyone should do the opposite.
Variations
+
-
- Replace 10 with some other number.
- Stand up when the number is larger than 5; sit down if it is 5 or below.
- Stand when the number is even; sit when it is odd.
- Stand if the digit 1 appears in the number; sit otherwise.
