Skipping Chain
counting · skip counting sequences
To create sequences through skip counting [1.OA.C.5].
Skipping Chain is a Grade 1 team game for building skip-counting sequences. A card determines the interval, and students in a line take turns calling the next number in the sequence until everyone has contributed. Each team must maintain the pattern correctly from one student to the next to earn the point for the round.
Use it for whole-class or small-group practice when students are learning repeated counting patterns. The chain format keeps everyone listening because each answer depends on the number spoken immediately before it.
