How to Play Secret Number
The goal if for students to guess the number of the house. It is a secret.
Before you play, laminate the game mat (available for free at the bottom of this post).
- write a number on the door - keep it concealed from the other players
- cover it with a sticky note (or two if they are thin cheap ones)
- write 'clues' on the windows
- clues could be number facts that have the secret number as the answer
- other players guess the secret number by solving the clues
- the owner of the house reveals the secret number by opening the door (lifting the sticky note)
- change roles and allow another player to be the owner of the house
