📏 Measuring In Centimetres and Millimetres Game

Are you looking for a fun way for your students to practise their measurement skills? This resource will encourage a bit of healthy competition while practising how to read a ruler.

To play, the first player draws a card and determines the length of the object. If the answer is correct, the player spins the spinner and moves the appropriate number of spaces. If the answer is incorrect, it is the next player’s turn.

Through this activity, students will demonstrate their ability to measure a variety of items to the nearest centimetre and millimetre.
