Name the Number

Put away the flash cards, and practice math facts in a whole new way! This board game is a great way to study. Encourage your child to work out problems instead of just guessing, and he will have greater success! Once you've played a few times, try creating your own playing board. You can have a whole new game every day, if you'd like!

What You Need:

• Die (Print a template.)
• Place marker for each player (a bean, coin, etc.)
• Name the Number playing board (Print this out.)

What You Do:

1. Players each select a place marker and put it at the starting point on the game board.
2. Players take turns rolling the die. The roll determines how many cells they may move. All players may move for "free" on their first turn.
3. Beginning in the second round, a player must provide the correct answer to the problem inside their marker's space before being allowed to roll.
4. Only one marker may occupy a space. If two players land on the same space, the last one stays and the other player must return to start.
5. The first player to reach the halfway point and then return to start wins.

Variation: Create your own game board. (Print a blank game board here.)
