Blast off into outer space and explore distant galaxies in this exciting digital game all about ordinal numbers. With every correct answer, students warp between galaxies and collect cosmic objects that earn them space badges to mark their progress. The aim is to apply their understanding of ordinal language to correctly identify the position of numbers within a sequence while enjoying a space-themed adventure.

This game provides a fun and interactive way for students to practise recognising and using ordinal numbers up to 20. Whether determining which number comes first, fifth, or twentieth, students will engage in problem solving while immersed in a visually engaging galactic environment. The format encourages focus and accuracy, as each correct answer brings them closer to earning new space badges and unlocking further exploration.

Ordinal Language: Numbers to 20 LET’S EXPLORE can be used as a whole-class activity on an interactive whiteboard, for small group rotations, or as an independent learning challenge. The bright visuals, interactive design, and space exploration theme make this an engaging resource for reinforcing ordinal number skills in a variety of settings.
