30 Printable Math Games

Printable math games make learning fun for kids by turning practice into play. Here are 30 different game ideas you can print and use to help children learn math in an enjoyable way.

Line Up Math Game

For this game, you write numbers on small pieces of paper and put them in a bowl. Each child picks a number. The group must then talk and work together to line up in order from the smallest number to the largest number.

String Multiplication

This is a hands-on activity for learning multiplication. Divide kids into small groups and give each group a ball of yarn. Assign each group a number, like 6. The first child holds the yarn and says “0,” then passes it to the child who says “6,” then to the one who says “12,” and so on. This creates a yarn web showing the multiplication pattern.

Math Charades

Print cards with math words or problems on them. Kids take turns picking a card and acting out the word or solving the problem without talking. Their friends must guess what they are doing. This game helps kids think about math in a new and active way.

Jeopardy

Set up a game board like the TV show Jeopardy. Make different categories like “Multiplication” or “Fractions.” Write questions with different point values. Kids choose a category and a point value, then try to answer the question to earn points for their team.

Math Fortune Tellers

These are also called “cootie catchers.” You fold a piece of paper into a special shape. Write math problems inside the flaps. Kids pick colors and numbers, which leads them to a math problem they must solve to reveal a silly fortune.

Parking Lot Cars Game

Make a pretend parking lot on a big piece of felt or paper. Write a math problem in each parking space. Give kids toy cars. They drive a car to a space, solve the math problem there, and then “park” their car. This is great for young learners.

Popsicle Stick Counting

Write numbers on popsicle sticks. Kids pick a stick and then count up or down from that number by a certain amount, like counting by 5s. This game helps them practice counting sequences and skip counting.

Subtraction Smash

Kids use play dough for this game. Roll small balls of dough and place them on a mat with subtraction problems. To solve “5 – 3,” they smash three of the five dough balls. This is a fun, hands-on way to see how subtraction works.

Math Hopscotch

Draw a hopscotch grid with chalk outside. Write a number or a simple math problem in each square. Kids hop through the grid and must say the answer to the problem in the square they land on. It mixes exercise with math practice.

Nerf Gun Math

Set up targets with different math problems or answers written on them. Give kids a Nerf gun. Call out a math problem, and they must shoot the target with the correct answer. This adds action and excitement to solving problems.

Jelly Bean Jumbles

Make a simple menu with jelly bean orders that are also math problems. For example, an order might say “2 red + 3 blue jelly beans.” Kids must solve the addition to know how many total beans to collect. They use real jelly beans to fill the order.

Domino Addition

Use a set of dominoes. Each player draws a domino and adds the two numbers on it. The player with the highest sum wins that round. This is a simple way to practice quick addition.

Make 10

Use a deck of cards with the face cards removed. Deal five cards to each player. The goal is to find cards in your hand that add up to 10, like a 6 and a 4. The player who makes the most sets of 10 wins.

Whack It Place Value

Write the digits of a large number on separate cards, like 4, 3, and 2 for the number 432. Call out a place value, like “tens.” Kids must use a toy hammer to whack the card that shows the digit in the tens place (the 3).

Math Twister

Use a Twister mat. Put sticky notes with math problems on each colored circle. When the spinner lands on “right hand red,” the player puts their hand on that red circle and must solve the math problem written there to stay in the game.

Lego Fraction Game

Use Lego bricks to show fractions. For example, a long brick can be “one whole.” Two shorter bricks of the same color can be “one half” each. Kids build shapes with the bricks to show different fractions, like one-half or three-fourths.

Math Facts Garden

Draw big flowers with sidewalk chalk. On each flower petal, write a multiplication problem, like 3 x 4. Give kids small rocks or buttons. They solve the problem and place a marker on the flower’s center that shows the correct answer, like 12.

Strike It Out

Draw a grid with numbers from 1 to 20. Players take turns. On your turn, you solve a math problem. The answer must be a number on the grid that hasn’t been crossed out. You then cross out that number. The last player able to cross out a number wins.

Egg Carton Shake Up

Number the sections of an egg carton from 1 to 12. Put two small beads or beans inside. Kids close the lid, shake it, and then open it. They add, subtract, or multiply the two numbers where the beads landed.

Count Your Dots

Players roll two dice and add the number of dots. They keep rolling and adding their scores together. The first player to reach a target number, like 50, wins. This practices quick addition.

Math Bingo

Each player gets a bingo card with answers to math problems, like “15” or “7.” The caller says a problem, like “5 x 3.” If a player has the answer “15” on their card, they mark it. The first to get five in a row wins.

Math Puzzles

These are printable puzzles like crosswords or Sudoku that use math. The clues are math problems. Solving the problem gives you the word or number you need to fill in the puzzle. It makes problem-solving feel like a game.

Printable Math Worksheets

These are pages you can print with many different math problems on them. They cover topics like addition, subtraction, and shapes. They often have fun pictures and can be used for quiet, independent practice.

Christmas Math Games

These are printable games with a Christmas theme. For example, a game board might look like a path to Santa’s workshop. To move forward, a player must solve a math problem on a card. It adds holiday fun to math practice.

Halloween Math Games

These games use Halloween pictures like pumpkins and ghosts. One game might have kids solve math problems to escape from a haunted house. You print the game board and cards to play.

Addition Bingo

This is like regular Bingo, but for addition. The bingo squares have sums like “8” or “12.” The caller says an addition problem like “5 + 3.” Players mark the square with the sum “8” if they have it.

Multiplication Flash Cards

Print cards with a multiplication problem on one side (like 6 x 7) and the answer on the other side (42). Kids can use them to quiz themselves or a friend. It’s a classic way to memorize multiplication facts.

Math Crosswords

In these crosswords, every clue is a math problem. You solve the problem, and the answer is the word or number that fits in the puzzle grid. It combines math skills with word puzzle fun.

Number Matching

Print two sets of cards. One set has math problems. The other set has the answers. Shuffle all the cards and lay them face down. Kids take turns flipping two cards, trying to find a problem card and its matching answer card.

Math Board Games

Print a game board that looks like a path. Players roll a die and move their piece. When they land on a space, they draw a card with a math problem. They must solve it to stay on that space. The first to reach the finish line wins.
