Four in a Row
1. This is a game for two players.

2. Player 1 should choose two of the numbers from the


boxes above and add them together.

3. Then, player 1 should find the total of their numbers in the


grid below and cover it with a counter. If the total appears
more than once, they can choose to cover either of those
squares with their counter.
4. Next, player 2 takes their turn and repeats steps 2 and 3.
5. Continue taking turns, adding two of the numbers above and covering the
total with a counter.

6. The winner is the first person to cover four squares in a horizontal,


vertical or diagonal line.

Adding one digit numbers

Top Totals
This is a game for two or more players
and you will need a pack of cards.

In this game:
• Aces count as one.
• Jacks, Queens and Kings are not needed and can be
removed from the deck.

How to play
1. Place a pile of cards, face down, in the
centre of the table.
2. Deal two cards to each player.
3. Players should add their two numbers and
share the total with the other players,

e.g. 9 + 3 = 12
4. The player with the highest total scores one
point and the cards are returned to the
bottom of the pile.

If any players have the same ‘top total’, they
score one point each.

Repeat this process,


dealing two cards to each
player and finding the total.

The winner is the first person


to score ten points.

Adding numbers up to 31

Thirty-One
This is a game for two players
and you will need a pack of cards.

How to play
1. Remove the sevens, eights, nines, tens, Jacks, Queens and
Kings from the deck.
2. Lay out the remaining cards as shown here.

3. Player 1 turns over a card and says its value, e.g. 3.


4. Player 2 turns over another card (e.g. 4) and adds its value to the
running total. In our example, this would be 7.
5. Continue playing by taking turns to flip over cards
and adding the values to the running total.
6. The winner is the player who reaches a
running total of exactly 31 OR who forces
the other player to go over that sum.

Number Detectives
This is a game for two or more players.
First, choose a player to be the secret agent.
The other players become the number detectives.

1. The secret agent chooses a number from 1 to 100.


2. The number detectives take it in turns to ask the secret
agent about their chosen number. For example:
• Is it larger than 10?
• Is it even?
• Is it a multiple of 5?
3. The secret agent can only answer by saying ‘Yes’ or ‘No’.
4. The number detectives can use the number grid below to help them work out the secret
number. For example, if the secret agent says ‘Yes’ to the question ‘Is it larger than 10?’, the
number detectives can cross out 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10.
5. Take turns to ask questions until somebody is able to work out the secret number.

1) Player 1 rolls the die. The game board has


negative numbers so if, for example, -3 is
rolled, they should move their counter three
spaces along the path. If +2 is rolled, they
-1 2)
3)

should move two spaces towards the start.

Player 2 rolls and moves their counter.

If a player lands on a fish symbol, they


should ask a friend to read a question on a
question card.

If they get the answer correct, they can
jump two spaces forwards.

+1 4)

If they get the answer wrong, they should


move back one space.

Continue taking turns to roll the die and


move the counters. The winner is the first
person to reach the chick at -75. ©

This is a game for two players (or two teams): The BEE team and the FLEA team. One
other person will need to be Quentin the Quizmaster.

You will also need a copy of the game board, a set of questions and a die.
The Bee team should help the two Bees (Boris and Beth) reach each other by creating a
connection of touching yellow hexagons from left to right across the board. The Fleas
(Fred and Florence) need to complete a connection of red hexagons from the top of the
board to the bottom.

How to Play

1) Both teams should roll a die. The team with the highest score goes first.

2) The winning team chooses a hexagon from the grid and tells Quentin the letter shown
on it. Quentin should then read a question whose answer begins with that letter.

• If the team answers correctly, they can colour the hexagon using their team’s
colour (yellow for bees and red for fleas).
• If the team answers incorrectly, the other team are given a chance to answer the
question and ‘steal’ it.
• If nobody can answer the question, Quentin the
Quizmaster should choose another question
whose answer begins with the same letter. The first
team to answer correctly ‘wins’ that hexagon and
colours it.
3) The other team chooses the next letter and play
continues in this way.

4) The winning team is the one who completes a


connection of four (or more) touching squares
between their two sides of the board. ©
