Yesterday Kansas announced that schools would be closed for the rest of the school year. Cue breakdown for this working from home mom! Momentarily breakdown at least – then I got it in gear and started figuring out what we’d be doing inside for school instead.

One of my 1st graders favorite things is math but he gets really bored doing just math facts, flash cards, and workbooks. Luckily math is something that can be incorporated in some many different fun ways from baking to board games to really anything.

Since he loves math so much, I’ve decided to try and incorporate some sort of fun math games or math activities into every single school day. Weekends will be a little different but school days = math time around here! They’re perfect to go along with these letter mat games for letter practice! 

Fun Math Games for Kids

I rounded up 30 different fun math games that are perfect for elementary school aged kids! I’ve included descriptions of the games as they’re written below but most of these games could easily be changed up to make them easier or harder depending on your kid’s math level! 

1 – Rolling Math

See who can roll their way to victory in these fun printable math dice games that work on addition and subtraction! Fun enough for the entire family to play and compete together! 

2 – Math Baseball

When you can’t play actual baseball, math baseball is a great alternative! This fun game has kids adding dice to try and get their team around the bases. Get all the instructions here.

11 – Jelly Bean Jumbles

Classic Math Games

One of my favorite ways to work on math with my son is by playing board games. Many of these board games for kids work well with teaching math through counting up points, being the banker and exchanging money, or even just adding the numbers on the dice. 

Here are some others that are designed specifically to work well for math! Many of these 1st grade learning games would work great too! 

  • Connect 4 fraction game
  • Money game
  • Number sequence game
  • Math memory
  • Head full of numbers game
  • Pizza fraction game
  • Dino tracks math game
  • Ocean raiders game
  • Payday
