• On the start signal, have students toss various objects found on their side of the room over the taped line to the other team’s side for about 2 minutes. (Be sure kids aren’t throwing items directly at another person.)

• At the stop signal, the teamwith the cleanest side (i.e. theleast number of objects ontheir side) earns a point!

Pro Tip: While counting the objects on each side, have the class form a math sentence. For example, if Team 1 has 15 objects on their side and Team 2 has 10 objects, students can say, “Team 1 has more objects because 15 is greater than 10,” or “Team 2 has fewer objects because 10 is less than 15.” Play multiple rounds.
