By - Shorti
Primary Subject - Math
Secondary Subjects - PE, All
Grade Level - 5
Note:
"Silent ball" is a fun physical and educational game that can be adapted to review any subject.
Materials: Questions, chairs and a ball
Procedure:
- Tell students that you are going to play a fun indoor game, but they have to be completely silent unless called on.
- Tell students to stand on their chairs.
- Give the ball to a student.
- Ask flash card math questions like "What is the product of 6 x 7?"
- The first student that raises their hand may answer the question.
- If this student answers correctly, the ball is passed to them. If they answer incorrectly, they must sit down and another person with their hand up gets called.
- The faster the game is played, the more fun it is.
- Since this is "Silent Ball," students that blurt out answers or make noise must sit down.
- Continue until you run out of standing students, questions or time.
- The last student standing wins.

Silent Ball can be used to review any subject:
