Yes, I guess lots of these games have different names, & variations. I like the idea of using it to practice tables, but I'd be wary of embarrasing the weaker pupils when you have a wide ability spread in the group.
I'm reminded of another circle game for older/more able pupils. This is Fizz Buzz. You start from 1 & go round the circle counting up one at a time, only when the number is divisble by 2 you say fizz, & when it's divisible by 5 you say buzz. If it's divisible by 2 and 5 you say fizzbuzz. This is another one to be used with caution, the advantage of 11s/last one standing is you don't actually have to be good at maths to play it!
