Learning Tables in 5th Class

Sparky100

As a teacher in 5th class I like to make maths fun! With regard to tables I have done tables champion, kids against each other like a knock out stage

Another game is FIzz buzz... Get all kids lined up, so if doing multiples of 3, start with pupil one who says, 1, next person says 2, next person says "Buzz", next person says 4, next person says 5, next person says "Buzz" SO BASICALLY buzz is said wherever there is a multiple of 3. If you miss it your out etc

Anyone know of any other games especially with 5th class (ages 11)

It's hard to hear tables each day but I do test them written on a Friday. Just wondering if anyone could give me any new games that they would like?

Thanks

A game I played with 3rd class worked well.
Basically you write the numerals from 0-10 on the board.
Two kids are on. You call out a sum. Each child has a fly swatter ( I used rolled up newspaper) and they must run to the board and hit the right numbers.
I used to do it by splitting the class down the middle and keep score over the week so you don't need to include each child every day if you don't have time, once each child is gotten at some point.

Nice game, might try that too. I sometimes do a type of knockout game so it is something similar. Thanks again
