(For example, I have twelve students, so I need 6 sheets of paper, labeled: 0,1,2,3,4&5) (If an odd number of students are present, then I play with them to make it even.). Tape the sheets of paper to the floor in a…

(This is a good one to play the first few weeks when you are first learning the magic square). I play this game using a Nerf dart gun (the kind with a suction cups at the end of the darts. You could also use one of those balls covered in suction cups.) To prepare, draw the magic square grid on the white board as large as possible. Fill in only…

Give each team an envelope with the SM cut up into small phrases. The students lay out the pieces onto a table. Teacher says go and they must transfer the words to a second table and put them in the correct order. The catch? They each have a straw (to suck up each piece for transit). If a word drops they must use the straw to pick it up. …
