37. More dice ideas
Number each pupil in your class 1-12
Go round again, so in a class of 24 you’ll have two pupils who are number 1 etc
Roll 2 die
The pupils with that number stand up and answer
Divide class into two teams - Ask a question then, if they answer correctly, roll one
dice for number of points
‘cricket’: - roll a dice, then ask a question worth that number of points. So a six
would be a really hard question, a one would be an easy one
