Multiplication Games for Kids
1)Ā SPEED
SPEEDĀ is a game that familiarizes kids with the multiples of digets 2 through 9. Janine of True Aim Education writes thatĀ her daughter loves playing SPEED. Mine is more reluctant. However, I think it’s a great option for reinforcing multiples and fact families.
2) Multiplication BingoĀ FREE printable here.

3)Ā Number DrawĀ Ā Partners put your hands behind your back. On the count of three, show theĀ fingers on yourĀ hands. The first person to say the product of the fingers shown wins the draw.
4) WAR with multiplication.
Ā In the traditional game of war, you divide up the deck and play your cards against the other player. The person with the highest card wins the pair. In multiplication war, the winner of the pair of cards is the person who can determine the product of the two cards first. (Ace = 1, J = 0, Q = 11, K = 12)
Additionally, you can buy a pre-madeĀ multiplication war game.
5)Ā Cootie Catcher
