Count Back Boom Cards

Count Back Boom Cards
View Curriculum Codes   
Description

This is a super fun game that your students will love! As students pick a card, they will practise verbally counting backwards from a different number to complete the number sequence shown on the card.

This game can be used as a whole class warm-up or in small groups. The cards are placed into a bag and each student takes turns picking a card and completing the counting back sequence. If they are correct, they keep their card. If a student picks a BOOM card, they must hand all of their cards to the next person. The player with the most cards at the end wins!
