When I taught in what you would call a grade school, 76 years ago, I used the last 5 mins of each class to play ``fizz-buzz'' :-

one,two,three,four,fizz,six,buzz,eight,nine,fizz,eleven,twelve,thirteen, buzz,fizz,sixteen,buzzteen,eighteen,nineteen,fizz,buzz,twentytwo,...

thirtyfive was fizzbuzz, etc. It had the advantage that it kept all the class thinking, as those who had dropped out were eager to catch mistakes by those still in ... R.
