It's no secret. I hate flash cards. They're so ... not fun. To give my 1st grade son a little practice with simple addition and turn repetition into memorization (hopefully), I made a simple board game. What You Need Free two-page download of game board and spinner (download here) Two pieces heavyweight cardstock Printer & ink Brad (to make the spinner spin) Scissors Small game pieces (different for each player) How to Play Game pieces are placed on the start square. The youngest player spins first. He/she solves the addition problem and moves their game piece to the nearest square with the answer. Turns alternate between players until a player gets the math problem where the answer is 5, the final square on the board. Enjoy!
