Spin and Win
A fun game for 2 players to practise counting, subitising and number recognition with the numbers 1-10.
Students play in pairs. Each player spins the spinner using a spinner or simply a paper clip and pencil. Whatever number they land on, they need to cover their matching star showing that many fingers with a counter. The first player to cover all of their stars wins. The game could also be used as a whole class game on an IWB.
