Practise identifying opposite integers, plotting positive and negative numbers and solving word problems with this board game.
Practise Positive and Negative Numbers with a Board Game!
Are you looking for a fun activity to help your students review integers, word problems and plot integers? You have landed in the right place! Teach Starter has created a board game your year 6 students can use when reviewing positive and negative numbers.
To play:
- Begin by having each player select a game piece and place it at the starting line.
- The person with the longest first name goes first.
- Player 1 should spin the spinner and move forward the appropriate number of spaces.
- If you land on a space that has a picture of a space symbol, draw a card and answer the problem. The next player in line should check the answer key to see if the answer is correct.
- If the player is correct, they may stay in their space. If the player is incorrect, they must return to the previous space they were at before taking a turn.
The first person to the finish line wins!
Through this activity, students will review how to find the opposites of integers, interpret word problems, and plot integers.

🆘 Support Struggling Students
If there are students who need additional support, consider providing a positive and negative number line to help them identify opposites.
➕ Challenge Fast Finishers
For students who need an additional challenge, encourage them to create their own game cards to add to the game.
