Play TenPair

TenPair is a game of logical elimination. The goal is to clear all the digits from the grid. You clear digits by eliminating two digits that are a matching pair or that sum to 10. They can be eliminated if they are in the same column with no other digits between them, or if they have no digits between them when scanning the grid from top to bottom, left to right. That is, the right end of a row wraps to the left end of the following row.

Sudoku is a logic based number placement game that was invented in the US, then popularized in Japan before spreading to the rest of the world. The goal of the puzzle is to place digits 1 through 9 such that each row, column, and 3x3 box contains exactly one of each digit.

Ten Down

Its possible to make a game out of basic maths drills, and this game does just that! As you are making your own dice (see Dice Game Tips and Tricks) you can tailor this game precisely to the age and level of your child. Age: 4+ Skills: Adding Subtraction Equipment: 3 specially-prepared dice 10 counters or small toys

How to play
Use 3 blank dice, or adapt existing dice with small stickers, to make this game. On the first you put 3 plus signs and 3 minus signs. Number the other 2 dice from 0 to 5. Put the 10 counters in a row in the middle of the players. The youngest starts and rolls all the dice, then does the problem (you may need to remind younger children to put the largest number first in a subtraction problem!). The answer to the sum is that players score. Each player takes a turn and the winner of the round (the player with the highest score) takes a counter or toy from the middle. Play until all the counters have gone and count up to declare an overall winner.

Variations for older children:

This game is easily adapted by changing the numbers on the dice or by using bought dice with 12 or 20 sides. Try practicing times tables by using two normal 6-sided dice or two 12-sided dice and multiplying the two numbers rolled. Its the competitive element that makes this fun!

Tip:
Rather than using counters, find a collection of 10 small toys which are close to your childs heart and rename the game to match. We have used a set of small trolls (found in cereal packets last year) to create a rousing game of Troll! for an older child, and a little bundle of treasured possession (beads, pebbles etc) to create Treasure for a younger child.

Stuck In The Mud

This is one of our favorite family dice games. Children love the surprises that the game produces, with some turns ending abruptly and some going on for ever and ever...

Age: 5+

Skills: Addition (mental) Addition (scoring) Equipment: 5 dice Paper and pencil Printable scoring chart (optional)

How to play
The aim of the game is to achieve the highest score. You can only score on a roll which does not include the numbers 2 and 5. Any dice which show a 2 or a 5 become stuck in the mud. Choose a player to start. Roll all 5 dice. If you have rolled any 2s or 5s, you do not score any points for this throw. If you have not rolled any 2s or 5s, add up the total of the dice and remember it. Set aside any 2s and 5s, and throw the remaining dice. Again, if you have rolled any 2s or 5s you fail to score this turn. Throws without 2s and 5s are added to your previous total. Continue in this way until all your dice are stuck. Write down your score, and pass the dice to the next player. Agree a number of rounds (five works well) and total up the score. You can use the score charts we have provided. You will be surprised at how much the score can vary and just how tricky the dice can be! More Dice Games for Kids

Concentration, also known as Memory, is a great family card game. It's easy to make the game easier or more difficult, and younger players tend to be able to compete with older players because they generally excel at memory-based games. Players 1 to 6 players. Deck Standard 52-card deck. Goal To collect the most pairs of cards. Setup Shuffle the cards and lay them on the table, face down, in a pattern (e.g. 4 cards x 13 cards). Gameplay The youngest player goes first. Play then proceeds clockwise. On each turn, a player turns over two cards (one at a time) and keeps them if they match numbers. If they successfully match a pair of numbers, that player also gets to take another turn. When a player turns over two cards that do not match numbers, those cards are turned face down again and it becomes the next players turn. Variants To make the game easier, cards can be removed in sets of 4 (e.g. all of the 2s and 3s). To make the game more difficult, require players to match both numbers and colors, as opposed to just numbers. (e.g. The King of hearts would match the King of diamonds but neither of those cards would match the King of clubs.)

Scoring for 1 player Time yourself to see how fast you can find all of the matching pairs. Compete with yourself by trying to get a faster time in a second game. Scoring for 2 to 4 players Players keep each pair they find. At the end of the game, each pair scores one point. Winning When all the pairs have been found, the player with the most points wins.
