This year we want to make learning FUN and play lots of games! Here are a few easy and fun games to play at home, we'll be playing most of them at school too!
Under the Bowl
Two players decide on a given number (I recommend beginning with a simple number such as 5 and moving up to 10. A strong understanding of 10 is a vital math skill!), one player hides some of the pieces under a bowl, the second player must figure out how many pieces are hidden. Record on sheet.

TreeHouse
This game is played with a deck of cards and builds even/odd skills. Two players chose to be either odd or even and as cards are drawn they advance up the ladder. The first one to the top wins!

Roll and Add
This is a game/activity done with dice. Beginners may want to only use two dice instead of three (we are beginning with two in class!). Roll the dice and add them up! To add a competitive edge use a timer (how many can you do in two minutes?) or the highest number wins.

One More
Bingo/Tic-Tac-Toe with math skills. Roll a die and add one more, look for a box representing that number and place a marker on it. First one with four in a row wins!

Ten Wand
This activity helps reinforce the 10 family! Print and pick a beginning number (a question "how many people live in our house?", roll a dice, draw a card A-10) color in that amount and figure out how many more are needed to make ten.

A simpler and more mathematical version of Sorry! (Really fun!)
