Around the Table
Walk to the side of your table where you think the correct answer is.
The question is central on the whiteboard, with each answer option on one side of the table. Every pupil stays at their own table and walks to the side they think holds the correct answer: in front of, left of, right of or behind the table.

How Around the Table works
The teacher starts the exercise. All pupils go and stand behind their own table.
The questions appear on the whiteboard. Each question has 2 or 4 answer options, each on one side of the table.
The pupils walk around their table to the side of the answer they think is correct: in front, left, right or behind.
When time runs out, the correct answer turns green.
