Primary Inspiration: 2nd Grade Christmas Math Games

Busy, busy, BUSY December! Music assemblies, fun crafts, parties, and so much more ... but the curriculum guide doesn't take a break, so what's a teacher to do?

Find activities that combine holiday fun with curriculum topics that all of your students will need to review!

Here's a second grade math bundle that fits that description perfectly!

This bundle will keep your students engaged, review critical topics, and even stretch their critical thinking skills. Let's take a peek at what's included!

Here's the next item from the bundle!

Addition and subtraction fact fluency within 20 is a critical skill set! Zoom in on it with this new set of 12 games! Addition, subtraction, missing addends -there's sooo much practice in the one-page games, ready to go for your math centers, Fun Friday, intervention, or whenever you need a fun way to "do" math but know that your students aren't going to be able to focus on a regular lesson, no less on a new topic!

Two of these games are something very different. You know that one child in your class who's always finished first, and never seems to have a partner ready to play a game? This set has two games that are "soo challenge" - fun and interesting games to be played by just one player! (Find more second grade games for fast finishers here!)

Here comes Rudy!

I really do love this Christmas game! It's a fast-paced holiday math center or small group game for comparing expressions for numbers. It stars that famous red-nosed reindeer your kids all love!

Here's how Rudy! works.

Using 59 cards for math expressions, your students will reach into a bag, pull out a card, and solve the expression on the card. Then the fun starts!

* If the player gets a card with any answer except 8 (like those eight little reindeer!), he keeps the card.

* If the answer is 8, he puts all of his cards back in the bag.

* If the student gets a Rudy card, he chooses any one of his cards to give to any of

the other players.

Rudy! is such a fun way to review a wide variety of topics. Here are a few sample Rudy cards.

The last resource in this bundle is a set of math riddle cards to practice adding three two-digit numbers. Riddle cards are good for math skills and critical thinking, too!
