St. Patrick's Day Math Game

This math game helps students convert 1's into 10's with a Shamrock / Leprechaun theme. Players go around the board by rolling dice and collecting silver coins as they land on Shamrocks around the board. Players collect the number of coins listed on each Shamrock. When a player has 10 Silver coins, he/she trades it in for 1 Gold coin. Once players have 10 gold coins, the first player to get to the castle with their Gold is the winner. Look out for the Leprechauns!

I plan to use plastic coins from Oriental Trading Post but I also made a paper version. Players collect Shamrocks and trade them in for gold coins. You can just print these from "Alternate Pieces and Boards"and cut them out. Another alternative is to use pennies and dimes.

Dr. Seuss Addition to 100

This game is based on another called "Race to 100" by Christina Bainbridge. I just modified it slightly for Dr. Seuss's birthday. The game helps teach students to add on to a large number. I have students that are having a difficult time with this concept use a 100's chart to help them visualize starting at one number and hopping ahead by the number rolled on the dice. You can use any type of dice starting with 6 sided, to a ten sided dice that shows ten's (10, 20, 30...), or dice with 5s and 10's. It just depends on what skill you would like them to work on. Enjoy.
