Capture the Crabs 8x

This fun and engaging game can be used to reinforce students' knowledge of the eight times tables. Students spin the spinner and find the crab with the correct answer to trace around. If the crab has already been traced, regardless of who traced it, it can now be coloured and claimed! The winner is the first person to colour five crabs.
This activity is fantastic for fast finishers or for numeracy rotations. For convenience, it has been made in colour and B & W.
