Take a deck of cards and set them out in a spiral formation. It does not matter what order the cards are in.
Place your game pieces at the start.
Player 1 rolls one die and multiplies the number on the die by the card the game piece is on.
If Player 1 is correct they move the number of spaces the die shows. If Player 1 is incorrect, they do not
move.

Multiplication Capture the Square!!
1. Grab two dice and a different colored marker for each player.
2. During a player's turn, he/she rolls both dice and multiplies the two numbers showing on the dice. The
player looks for the product on the board and draws a line to connect any two dots that form part of the
square around that product. Each product appears multiple times on the board,.
3. When a player draws a line that closes a square, that player gets to color in the square with his/her marker. That player rolls the dice again and takes another turn.
4. When all of the dots have been connected, the player with the most squares colored in wins!
