Frequently Asked Questions Thousands of web sites for educators and students. Support for long-term classroom planning and professional development. Information covering important topics for today's educators and parents. These games and activities incorporate topics such as counting, negative numbers, addition, and subtraction, as well as place value, money, and estimation. They are arranged by difficulty, starting with the more simple ones, and most involve one or two players.
Most games involve a deck of cards, but colored chips, dice, or dominoes are also used at times.
The child is shown one card at a time and is asked to identify it. If he or she identifies it correctly, the child keeps the card in a pile. If not, the parent keeps the card. The piles are counted when all cards are done, and the player with the most cards gets a point. The first one with five points wins the game.
