It's Official - They Love To Bump!

After playing math board games with a group of 7 and 8 year olds, I asked them which their favorite games were. They had played lots of different ones over several sessions but it was clear that they had a few favorites.
Yes they love the Bump games! I think that the part they love most is 'bumping' their opponent off a number.
These are the 2 that they named as favorites -     

      

The Balloon Bump Addition was in a previous edition of my Let's Make Math Fun Magazine. You can download it now for free at http://www.makingmathmorefun.com/magazine/Volume15MA2012.pdf 

The Mad Monkeys Bump is part of my Multiplication Games Collection.

The other favorites were the Tic Tac Toe games, especially the 4x4 games.

I have to admit, as much as they love to play the games, I also love to see them playing! They apply their math skills over and over and do so with joy, enthusiasm and laughter!

So I guess -

Games + Math = Learning + Fun



What a great equation for teaching math!
Hope you have a chance to download and try some of the games above. There are also other FREEBIES and math board game collections at my TPT store and my TN store.
