Start off with one student, on one side of the classroom. Have him or her stand behind the person next to them. Then you ask a math question that they should be able to do (or know, like times tables). Whoever answers the question first and correctly, continues the game. That means, if the first student who went to stand behind the person next to them got the question right, then they stand behind the next person in line (however the desks in your room flow). If that person loses, then they go sit back in their seat and the person who won stands up and moves behind the person sitting next to them.
