Do you remember the game runaround from the 80’s? Here are a selection of SATs style multiple choice questions for maths and English (SPAG). Then using the basic rules of runaround the children have thirty seconds to work out the solution and get to A, B or C. If you have a sneaky class you could also add in the extra rule that after 30 seconds they have another ten seconds to change their answer. Will they play sneaky or be fairer. It could be a good way of revision and exercise to relax the class and unwind at the same time.
