I discovered that the kids loved it and they became much faster at recalling math facts or calculating math.
It was also great to hear them begging to play particular games. I also found that they were great as a bribe - 'If you get this done quickly and do a job, you can play a game.' Well it does work!
I have made loads and loads of games and love dreaming up more. My main criteria for a game is that it is simple to prepare and simple to learn to play. You can try it for yourself with these!
Here are few of my freebies on TPT.
I also have collections for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division facts.
You find them at my TPT store.
So why not give some board games a go!
I can't believe I haven't discovered you before!!! Love the games! Thanks :)
