Classroom setup

Plan about 5 min for this activity. It works best with whole class, with the game displayed where every learner can see the prompts. Before the first turn, review the controls and tell students how they should respond while another player is at the board. Listen for evidence of focus and movement as students explain their choices.

Teacher tips

  • Keep the pace calm rather than competitive.
  • Offer seated alternatives for every movement.
  • End with a breath so the transition back to learning is clear.
