Please note: Some of these games are expensive. It is not necessary to buy anything, but I thought you might like to know about some things that are out there. You can get these at the Teacher/ Parent Store on Mill Plain Road in Danbury. Manufactured by: Learning Resources t Tarantula Time Dominoes t Totally Tut: A Math Operations Game t Mantis Money t The Adventures of Captain Coin t Crossword Toss Manufactured by: Ravensburger t Number Race t The Rainbow Fish t Mystery Garden GAMES TO PLAY t Rope Jumping: Have family members use a jump rope to skip count by 2, 3, 4, and 5. Keep track of each family member’s score. t Up or Down: Ask each player to write a 3-digit number on each of 5 pieces of paper. Put all the numbers in a bag. The leader should pick and display one number. The first player to round the number to the nearest 100 wins a point. The game ends when a player reaches 10 points. t Bean Toss: Draw a number wheel like the one shown below. Tape the wheel securely to the floor. Each player gets three lima beans to toss onto the wheel. Add the value of each toss. Continue tossing until someone reaches a score of 96 or more. Think Fast! Make two sets of cards numbered from 1 to 20, one number to a card. Shuffle the cards and place two cards face up on the table. For example: Tens Ones 12 15 The first player to regroup the numbers correctly wins the round. t Let’s Go Shopping: Divide family members or friends into two teams. Give each team a food store ad, a $10 limit, and list of grocery items. The team that can find the greatest number of items for $10 is the winner. (It’s all right to use play money. t Subtraction Fun: Make flash cards with subtraction facts on one side and the answers on the other side. Show a fact to the first player. If the problem is answered correctly, the player keeps the card. If it is answered incorrectly, the card goes to the bottom of the deck. Now go on to the next player, continuing until all the cards are given out. The player with the most cards wins the game. t “I’m Going on A Trip”: Say, for example, I’m going on a trip, and I’m bringing a ball and a bat. What will you bring? Your child should respond with a word that has the same beginning sound as the words you say. (bed, box, bike) t Letter in the Middle: Say a letter and four words, asking your child to raise his/her hand each time he/she hears the sound of that letter in the middle of a word. Use words such as these: z–puzzle, zipper, buzz, dazzle; g–wagon, tiger, gift, argue. t Name That Object: Make up riddles for words with the hard and soft c and g sounds. Give clues that include the sound; for example, This fruit whose color is also its name has a soft g sound in its name. (Orange) t I Spy: Give your child clues to objects in the room. For example, I spy something that tells time and has the short o sound. (Clock) Also, use with long vowel sounds.
