Buzz the Number--
This is a counting game that focuses on skip-counting and multiples. Identify a multiple you want to practice. With all cameras turned off, students begin counting off in turn from the number one. When a number in that sequence is reached – the student says their number followed by the word ‘BUZZ’, and then turns on their camera. The goal is to move from one student to the other as quickly as possible without making a mistake – until no one is with their camera off. Once a student turns on their camera, they are out of that round. If a student forgets to BUZZ the number, reset the game and start back from one.
Ex. If you are practicing multiples of three, your game will start like this: 1, 2, 3-BUZZ! (student turns on camera), 4, 5, 6-BUZZ! (student turns on camera), 7, 8, 9-BUZZ! (student turns on camera) etc.
Try variating the game by playing with more than one multiple at a time or counting backwards in sequence.

Agenda:
1. Energizer:
Buzz the Number--
This is a counting game that focuses on skip-counting and multiples. Identify a multiple you want to practice. With all cameras turned off, students begin counting off in turn from the number one. When a number in that sequence is reached – the student says their number followed by the word ‘BUZZ’, and then turns on their camera. The goal is to move from one student to the other as quickly as possible without making a mistake – until no one is with their camera off. Once a student turns on their camera, they are out of that round. If a student forgets to BUZZ the number, reset the game and start back from one.
Ex. If you are practicing multiples of three, your game will start like this: 1, 2, 3-BUZZ! (student turns on camera), 4, 5, 6-BUZZ! (student turns on camera), 7, 8, 9-BUZZ! (student turns on camera) etc.
Try variating the game by playing with more than one multiple at a time or counting backwards in sequence.
