Physical Games
Use a deck of cards to play addition or subtraction ‘War.’ Each player turns over two cards and adds them together. The highest sum (or difference) gets all of the cards. In the event of a tie (i.e. each player has the same sum or difference), WAR is declared.
You can make the game a little harder by leaving the kings, queens, and jacks in the deck. When adding your cards together, each jack would equal 11, queens are 12, and kings are 13.
If you’re working on adding more than 2 numbers together, each player can turn over 3, 4, or even 5 cards at a time. The game will go quicker, but it will still be fun.
For Grades 3 and higher, you can also play this game using multiplication. Instead of adding the two cards together, multiply them!
