Generate Terms in a Sequence BUMP Maths Game | No-Prep Year 6 Review Activity

Let’s BUMP the other teams to score points!

BUMP is a no-prep maths game where students bump other teams off the platform to score points based on how quickly they answered the questions (must be correct)!

The game is playable with the whole class together, or you can play it as small groups. All questions and answers are included. This version is Year 6 Maths, Generate Terms in a Sequence. It is a digital resource, no printouts required.

How It Works

• The game runs entirely on PowerPoint and/or Google Slides, and you can edit the questions and answers if you like.
• Make 3 teams, and set up platform (e.g. desk), and a shooting position about 1.5 metres away.
• The closest shooting position is worth 1 point, middle is 2 points, and the furthest away is 3.
• Start the first question.
• The teams race to answer the questions correctly on a piece of paper. When done, they hold up their answer.
• Yes, it is chaos, and so much fun!
• Once all teams have answered, tap the teams in order of completion to set the shooting order.
• Check the answer, which is provided.
• If correct, each team gets one shot to land their paper ball on the platform.
• Shots are taken in reverse order of completion, so the last team to finish goes first.
• Once shots are complete, teams receive 1 point if their paper is still on the platform, and they get 2 points for each of the other paper balls that they bump off the platform.
• Add up the points and keep score on the board.
• The team with the most points at the end is the winner.
• Questions vary in difficulty and the answer is provided after each question.
