Stepping Into Math Games Number Card Games Tens Go Fish (2-4 people) o Tens Go Fish is played just like Go Fish, but the only difference is they are looking for ways to make 10. o Each player gets 7 cards. Lay down any 2 cards you already have that equal 10. Then the first player starts and begins to ask for a card they need. o As you make 10, you lay your two cards down. The first person to get rid of all their cards wins.
Addition War (2 people) o Split the cards between the two players. Then the two players will start and at the same time they will flip over their first card. They will need to add the two numbers together to get the sum. o The first person to say the correct sum gets the cards and that is a point. They just leave the two cards off to the side. o Whoever answers the most addition problems correctly wins the game.
Subtraction War (2 people) o You play the same way as Addition War, but you subtract. o This one will be a little harder, so please wait to do this one until they have a great understanding of addition.
Dot Card Games 1,2,3 Draw Me (2 people) o Place the dot cards in the center. One person will flip a dot card over and count 1,2,3 and then flip it face down. o While the card is face up, the other person is focusing on the card and looking at the arrangement of dots.
o Once the card is flipped back over the partner who was studying the card, will need to try to draw it. They can use pencil and paper or dry erase boards and markers. o Check it to see how they did. If they drew it correctly, then you switch roles. If they made a mistake you will need to show it to them again so they can try to fix their mistake.
1,2,3 Flip (2 people) o Put all the dot cards in the center. Flip over a card. The first person to say the correct amount of dots gets to take the card. o Whoever has the most cards at the end wins the game.
Other Games Bears in a Cave (2 people) o You need to have ten of any object- coins, candy, cereal, etc. o One person takes some objects and hides them in their “cave”. They don’t need to actually hide them; you do want to be able to see them (at first). The other player has to create the addition sentence that matches the problem. o Once they get the hang of playing, while being able to see each part of the problem, then you can actually hide an amount and have them try to figure out how much is hidden.
