Kid Math Games

Skill: Greater than, less than, equals with symbols; addition up to 6 + 6

Number of players: 2-4

Object of the game: Earn the most cards.

Supplies: A pair of dice, game cards

Preparation: Photocopy the game cards, cut apart, and place face down on the table.

To Play:

1. The first player draws a card. She rolls the dice and finds the sum. If the sum matches her card, she keeps the card. If the sum doesn’t match the card, she may roll one more time. If the sum still doesn’t match the card, she returns the card to the bottom of the deck and her turn is over.

   Example: Susie draws 4 > ____

   She rolls 3 + 4. The sum is 7 which is not less than 4. So she rolls again and gets 1 + 2. The sum is 3 which is less than 4, so she keeps the card.

2. Other players follow in the same manner.

3. When all the cards in the deck have been used, players count their cards. The player with the most cards is the winner.
