Get out of my house Focus – addition and subtraction facts to 20. Choosing and using operations
A game suitable for students from Prep to Year 6. . Children play the game in pairs. Game board with the numbers 0 -20 displayed in a grid. Dice: [ 6 sided dot dice and 10 sided dice. ] Each child has 7 counters of the same colour. Their partner has a different colour but also needs seven.. Children take it in turns rolling two dice. Depending on the developmental levels of the students playing the game, they may simply add or subtract to make an answer with the two dice. One of their seven counters is placed on that number. The objective is to get all seven counters on the board before the other player. If a student lands on top of number that has their partner's counter on it they take the place and send the counter back to their partner. Students can have more than one counter of their own on the same number but if their opponent lands on that number all counters are sent back. Variations....use ten sided dice, use three dice, allow any operation, simplify the game by using a 0 - 12 board and a only two six sided dice.
