Times Table Race

One in a series of simple yet effective games, designed by primary school teacher Christine Towndrow. The games helps with the practice of the 2 to 12 times tables.

The gameboard is a double-sided A3 size laminated card, with a game that covers the 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x and 10x tables printed on one side, and a game that covers the 6x, 7x, 8x, 9x, 11x and 12x tables on the other. Each game can be further split to give four simplified games that separately cover,

• 2x, 5x and 10x
• 3x and 4x
• 6x, 7x and 8x
• 9x, 11x and 12x

Each time a player moves they must look for the answer to the multiplication they land on. If if they find it in their colour coded section of the answer grid then they can mark it with a counter. The first player to cover all the answers in their colour section is the winner.
