Math Block Series: A New Math Game to Add to my Collection

Making math games for my centers groups has been on my mind lately. I find inspiration absolutely everywhere. This one is a quick and easy game based off the child's game of Tug of War. I created addition and subtraction sets in three different levels for easy differentiation. Starting with three digit numbers, up to 6 digit numbers, and even decimals, there is something for every one of your upper elementary level students. 

Each player gets half the deck. The deck is divided into two different colors, so one person gets one color and the other person gets the other color. If you prefer blackline options, one person will get the deck that shows a child with the Tug of War rope being pulled to the right, while the other person gets the deck with the person pulling to the left. Each player will mix up their cards, placing them upside down. Players will each turn over one card and solve the equation. The player with the higher answer wins that round and collects those cards. Continue to play in the same way until all cards are played or time runs out. Whoever collected the most cards is the winner. 

Tug 'O War is the name of the game, and it is simple to play. I hope you'll check it out! Find it here!
