This is brilliant, all you need to stage your own Crystal Maze Maths event. Although the resources are for KS3 I am sure they could be adapted for younger children. Below is a Powerpoint version of The Crystal Maze which can be edited to suit the level of your children. It follows the basic pattern of the game show pitting teams of children against each other.

Here are some Crystal Maze videos, they have been edited to show just maths type problems.
This problem involves pressure pads and weights, the contestant doesn't manage to solve this problem so you could ask your students what he should have done.

The Cube is a Saturday night game show, whereby you have to overcome several challenges and defeat the cube. The challenges in this version or all mathematical and because it is a Powerpoint they can be edited-great stuff.

A colleague on Twitter was asking about 'Alice in Wonderland' maths resources to go with their new topic. I found this really useful PDF above and thought it was worth sharing. Thanks to the original creator Ben Waldram for creating this resource, he also has a very interesting blog at https://benwaldram.wordpress.com

Your camp mates are starving and it is up to you to solve the maths problems and earn stars for your camp. Stars can equate to Dojo points if used or some other form of reward system. The challenge is available as a Publisher document so it can be edited to change problems or adjust to make easier/harder.

You could also introduce a time limit, see how many challenges can be finished in 10/15/20 minutes. Thanks to Russ Brown for this suggestion.
Thanks to the lovely Theresa Young @treezyoung for sharing this Prezi based upon the 'Bushtucker Trial' challenge. 
Great for work with the class.

A great little infographic, showing the dates when various Disney films were actually set. Great to compare numbers, how long ago was Alladin set etc.

Inspired by an idea by Gaz (@gazneedle) Mike (@WatsED) created these two Guess Who games. Full instructions are included. 

Guess Who is a great game for logical questioning and thinking, very useful skills for mathematicians.
