Clear the Board: Chance Game

Overview:

A board game that challenges students to use their understanding of chance and probability to be the first to remove all their counters from the board. Designed for early and middle years students.

Learning Objectives:

• Apply knowledge of chance and probability to make strategic decisions.
• Develop counting and number recognition skills.
• Enhance turn-taking and sportsmanship during gameplay.

How the Activity Works:

Two players take turns spinning a spinner and using the outcome to remove their counters from the board. Players place their counters under various numbers at the start of the game, and after each spin, they can remove a counter if it matches the spun number. The first player to remove all their counters wins the game. This activity encourages critical thinking and supports the development of probability skills in a fun, interactive way.
