Dizzy Dominos

To play this activity, you need two to three sets of dominos and a hula hoop or frisbee for each team. The goal is for each team to have the least number of dominos in their pile when time is called. The hula hoops are positioned into a large square or rectangle. A teacher can have the game last anywhere from 3-5 minutes.

  1. To begin, split an equal number of dominos to each team. Place the dominos in the hula hoop or Frisbee. If possible, you want the same number of students in each group.
  2. Each student selects a domino and then completes the activities. For example, if they get a domino that has 1 dot and 2 dots then they complete the activities that correspond to the number 1 and 2 on the activity card.
