They LOVED, LOVED this activity!! We did this three times before I called it quits - and we played it again the next day too!īe sure to check out this post too.

They took turns running up the hill, grabbing a problem from their pile, solving it before crossing the finish line and tagging the next person to play. The kids had to work together to get as many problems correct in five minutes as they could. Math 5-Minute Relay Race: For this race, I made up cards ahead of time so that LD did percentage or fraction problems while DD did multiplication/division and ED practiced addition. If they landed on one of each color they got a point and if they got the answer correct they also got a point. They added or multiplied those numbers together. The kids had to try to get a pom-pom on each color. The outer numbers were drawn in green, the inner numbers in pink. Math Bulls-eye Game: We created a bulls-eye with chalk. To “win” they had to beat their own time the second time through.

They raced through as fast as they could once while I kept time. The kids had to either add (for ED) or multiply (for DD and LD) the numbers before they jumped on the number. Math Fact Hopscotch: We drew a hopscotch game and then put two numbers in the double squares. You could even include your little ones by including cards with just a number, letter or shape (square, triangle, etc.). As you can see, the kids each had their own color and their problems were different since they’re covering different things. If they hit the card AND solved it correctly, they got to take it down from the wall. The kids took turns trying to SPLAT their card. We hung math problems up on the garage door with painters tape. Math Sponge Toss: If it’s getting warm where you live, the kids might enjoy this activity. Don’t you love when the kids BEG and BEG for more math practice?!! So here are some of the games we’ve been playing outside… With the weather so beautiful, we’ve taken math outside.
