As an educator, I like to use games in my classroom to practice math skills. Addition Top-It is a great game to practice basic addition skills . You can also play this game anywhere; all you need is a pack of playing cards.
Materials:
Number cards 1 -10 (4 of each)
Use the Ace as a 1 and any picture card as a 10
Players: 2 to 4
Directions:
- Shuffle the cards. Place the deck number-side down on the playing surface
- Each player turns over two cards and calls out the sum of the numbers
- The player with the highest sum wins the round and takes all the cards
- In case of a tie for the highest sum, each tied player turns over two more cards and calls out the sum of the two cards.
- The player with the highest sum then takes all the cards from both plays.
- The game ends when not enough cards are left for each player to have another turn.
- The player with the most cards wins.
