Head to Head



Who knows their tables inside out and back to front? Quick fire rapid response is what is needed for this game. Pupils go 'Head to Head' against each other, it's a case of last boy or girl standing to be hailed and congratulated as champion for the day until we do it all again tomorrow. Everybody knows the answers, they are on the wall day and daily. It's a high end game of pressure and precision. Forget about fastest finger first, or beat the chaser, this is where it's at!!!! The boys and girls love this game - the only thing hurt is pride, the only way to be in with a chance is to LEARN & KEEP LEARNING YOUR TABLES.
