This quick activity will not only focus your class, but it is designed with illustrations so it can be used for intervention first, enabling all ability levels to develop skills and fluency at their own rate. It is circular, meaning you can start anywhere and finish anywhere. You could start with students sitting at desks or in a circle and have them stand when they 'say' their card, then continue around twice until students are sitting again.

You could use a timer to focus on fluency once the activity is familiar.

I specialise in learning difficulties now, but I develop games and activities that can be integrated into the whole class for all ability levels so maximum learning can occur.
