Beat the Teacher (Cynthia Leonard)
The teacher slowly writes a numeral (letter, word) on the screen. The students try to guess the numeral before the teacher finishes writing.
VIRTUAL CLASSROOM
The children love to "beat the teacher" in any game. After the teacher finishes writing the children could be encouraged to copy it.
Standing “O”vation (Cathy Richardson & Jeanette Wannop)
