Materials
punch of play cards
with the face cards (jacks, queens and kings) removed
Photocopied black
outlined map of the US, one per player
Color pencils, or
markers
2 or more participants
Proceeding:
Ask one of the players to mix up the deck and place it
face down in the center of the table. Have another player pass out maps
and either color pencils or markers to the players.
Have the kids taged each of the states with their correct
state names.
Then, in each of the states, have the kids write in
different products they'll stumble upon while multiplying the different
cards in the deck together.
Have the players find out the value of the face cards. Tell
them that for the function of the game aces = 1.
Select one player to start. Ask her to pick up two cards and
place them face up so the other players can see. She must rightly state the
product that comes when the two cards are multiplied together.
If she answers correctly, she should find the situation
containing that product.
Before she can color it in, she must correctly recognize the
respective condition's name.
If she doesn't come up with the right product, and follow up
with a correct state name, play moves on to the next player.
The player who's first
to successfully color his map in completely is the champion.
Supportive Tip: Make this game even more tricky by
asking players to name the capital city of each state before coloring they're acceptable
to color it in.
