Bring the joy of learning to your classroom with these engaging monthly 1st grade math games! Knockout is a fast-paced, no-prep, paperless math game played on the whiteboard—perfect for introducing new skills or reinforcing previously taught skills. The rules are simple: players who answer correctly can eliminate their opponents, adding a fun competitive twist. Your students will stay excited and engaged while building essential math skills, and you’ll love seeing their progress. Get ready for nonstop learning and laughter with Knockout!
These monthly math games include 4-5 games per month. Different than the subject-based Knockout packs already in my store, the monthly games are:
- Aligned with grade-level pacing guides [This will allow you to use the materials in a timely manner to complement your current instruction or serve as review later in the month!]
- Seasonally-themed [rather than generic designs, each game aligns with seasonal holidays and events]
A QUICK LOOK AT KNOCKOUT™ & HOW IT IS PLAYED
1 – Divide your class into 2 single file lines
2 – Display the first slide
3 – The player at the front of his/her line faces off against the player from the other team: the first player to answer his/her question correctly wins and returns to the end of the line!
4 – The player who does not win goes to sit on the team “bench” to cheer on the team!
✋ BUT WAIT: That’s not all.
If a player faces these slides, the following could happen:
✅ Double Free Pass: Both players automatically get to stay in the game!
✅ Double Knockout™: Both players are automatically out!
✅ Knockout™/Free Pass: One player leaves, one stays!
✅ Pick a Pal: Choose a player from the bench to return to the game!
