Mass Race is a fun game that students can play when learning about mass. This task challenges students to identity whether objects can be described as light or heavy.
Players will ‘race’ to fill their board as they identify the light and heavy objects. They will take turns with a partner or in small groups to select a card from the pile. Students will verbally respond to the prompt on the card and place a counter on their board in the relevant section.
This resource includes high and low colour options. Printing the game board and game cards on card is recommended for longevity. The game cards must be cut out before playing.
Please note that this game requires 18 counters for each player.
If your students struggle to identify the mass of the objects on the cards, select 18 objects from your classroom for students to heft in place of using the cards.
