							| Hello friends. I have made this tool for number practising: A soft ball with numbers for tossing "thumb" games, i.e. when a student catch the ball, they have to say the number their right thumb is on. Material: ball, permanent marker.  |  4 Aug 2011

							| I love it. I have a similar one for colours, but adding numbers would be great. Perhaps even on the coloured fields my ball already has. Thanks for sharing! |  4 Aug 2011

							| Indeed, it is totally versatile! You can even write vocabulary on it or questions. But still dont know how to use the black fields :( I mean when it happens that a student chatch the ball with a thumb on this field. Any help? |  4 Aug 2011

							| That sounds very interesting! 
 Maybe you could fill the black spaces with stickers. Here in my country is very easy to find stickers with questions marks or numbers or letters. 
 Thanks for sharing your thumbs � game =) |  4 Aug 2011

							| You can write a number with and arrow so they have to tell the numbers from that one backward/forward, depending on the arrow. |  4 Aug 2011
