Comparing Numbers Splat – Compare and order numbers (Yr3)

Aim of the Game:

This is a really simple game to help children practise ordering and comparing numbers. 

What do you need?

• You don’t need a whiteboard, you could make number cards and put them on the floor or do this on a big sheet of paper.
• A hand splatter.

How to Play:

• Randomly pick a starting number using digit cards and put a range of bigger and smaller numbers below it.
• Start with the target number and shout bigger or smaller and the children have to use their hand splatter to splat a correct number and shout it out.
• You could then extend this to writing a number sentence with the greater/less than symbol in it to compare the numbers.
• You can either then go back to the original target number and play again or continue from the number you have just splatted and extend the number sentence.
