3 Addend Snap
Three players of equal skill
• The three players divide the cards evenly
among themselves.
• All players turn over a card at the same time. The first
person to correctly add the numbers on the three cards
and say aloud the correct sum collects all three cards.
• In the event of a tie situation where all three players give
the answer at the same time, all players keep their own
cards.
• If two players say the answer at the same time, they
keep their own cards. The third player's card is removed
from the game.
• Play continues until one player loses all of their cards.
The other two players count their cards to determine a
winner. The player with the most cards is the winner.
Break 100 (Subtraction)
• Each player starts with 1,000 points on their
paper.
• Player 1 turns over two cards from the deck and
creates a 2-digit number. The first card number
is used in the tens place and the second card is
used in the ones place. The player subtracts his
number from 1,000.
• Play continues until one player "breaks 100."
The first player to break 100 is the winner. If
Player 1 goes first, and is first to break 100, then
Player 2 gets to take her last turn. If she breaks
100 too, the winner is the player who has the
smallest number. In the rare instance when two
players have the exact same "final difference,"
the game ends in a tie.
“Go Fish”
Collect pairs of cards with the same number.
• Each player gets 5 cards. All other cards are placed face down in a deck.
• A players ask another player if she or he has a certain card in their hand.
Ask the question in the form of a multiplication or division question.
Example: Multiplication
Do you have any 2 x 5's (10's)?
Do you have any 3 x 2's (6's)?
Do you have any 7 x 1's (7's)?
Division
Do you have any 10’s divided by 2’s? (5’s)
Do you have any 6’s divided by 3’s? (2’s)
Do you have any 7’s divided by 1’s? (7’s)
• The player who has a match in his hand must give up his card to the player
who asked the question. The player who asked the question now has a pair.
• Players continue asking questions until they are unsuccessful in finding a
match. If a player does not have the number asked for, she says "Fish" and
the player asking the question takes a card from the top of the deck.
Matching cards are placed to the side.
• Play continues until one player is out of cards. The player with the most pairs
is the winner.
