New in Gynzy: Alpaca Race – Make Math Practice a Team Effort
Looking for a fun and engaging way to practice arithmetic on the interactive whiteboard? Meet Alpaca Race—a lively, team-based activity that brings math to life and gets the whole class involved.
Students team up, race their alpacas across the board, and practice key math skills along the way.
How Alpaca Race works
In this interactive activity, students join the game using the Gynzy app or a QR code. They’re automatically divided into two fair teams—each racing with a cheerful alpaca: Nacho or Pepper.
As students solve math problems correctly on their own devices, their team’s alpaca moves forward on the whiteboard. The more correct answers, the faster they race. The first alpaca to reach the finish line wins!
And don’t worry if teams are uneven—Gynzy adjusts the total number of required questions so both sides have an equal chance of winning.

You can tailor the game to your lesson goals by selecting the types of math problems your students will solve. Choose from:
