Luck or Risk A thrilling team-based classroom game for Key Stage 2, Key Stage 3 and beyond! Luck or Risk is an exciting PowerPoint-based maths game combining strategic thinking, probability, and classroom competition. Designed for use in both primary and secondary school maths lessons, this engaging activity gets students thinking fast and working together as they practise key mathematical skills. Two teams take turns selecting squares from a hidden grid, using Battleship-style coordinates (e.g., B4, C3). Each selected square reveals either: Blank – no points awarded L for Luck – triggers a fun, lower-challenge question worth 10 points R for Risk – a higher-challenge question, but with a twist… When a team reveals a Risk square, they must choose how many of their existing points they want to stake before hearing the question. If they answer correctly, they earn double their stake. If incorrect, the staked points are deducted from their total. If a team fails to answer a Luck Question, the other team has a chance to steal 5 points with a correct answer of their own. The game board includes: 9 Luck Squares 9 Risk Squares 18 Blank Squares (36 squares in total – a perfect mix of probability and strategy) Once all L and R squares have been revealed, the game ends.
