Number Callout Dominos

Number Callout Dominos    
     
Deal out the dominos to the students. It's best if no student gets two dominos containing the same number--you can either deal carefully or just ask students to swap any matching dominos until they don't have two of the same number.
 
The student with the domino marked 'START' on top reads the number on the bottom ("fifteen"). Then the student with the card that has '15' on the top repeats "fifteen" and reads the number on the bottom of that card ("fifty percent"). The chain reaction continues until the last student, with the card marked 'END', is reached.
 

This game is intended for three to six students. If there are enough students, it can be played as a race between two or more groups.

 
Another game is possible: Two students can work together in a sort of number tennis. Give each a sheet with half the dominos (one gets the top 2 rows, and the other gets the lower half). Student A reads one domino, then Student B reads the next. This variant has the advantage of increased exposure to all numbers.
