Activity Instructions

On the Add/Subtract Mat practice patterns, multiples, addition or subtraction while kids have fun practicing their tossing and catching skills. Designate a quarterback and a receiver (students could take turns in the roles to involve the whole class) and give them an objective, such as count by 7s to 100. The receiver stands on 7, and the quarterback tosses them the ball. If the receiver doesn’t fumble, they move to the next 7, standing on 14. This continues until a receiver reaches 100 (a touchdown!) while the quarterback stays in one spot the whole time. If the ball is fumbled at any point, the receiver has to start back at the beginning.
