So anything that can make the subject more fun and easy for the girls to enjoy the learning then I am all ears!.
Learning Resources are known for their amazing products when it comes to all areas of learning and I can always rely on them for something that is going to help the girls learn something and also have fun whilst doing so.
Sum swamp is the latest addition to our learning Resources collection. The aim of the game is to get to the finish line first by answering the sums correctly , sounds easy right? there is a twist !.
You have three dice , 2 with numbers and one with an add and takeaway sign . You start with the highest number dice , and add or subtract the lowest number , that answer gives you the number of places you can move on the board.
Ready for that twist?, if you land on one of the odd or even squares then you will have to roll either an odd or an even , depending on which square you are on , in order to move.
I landed on an even square and it took me forever to move , not as easy as it looks , but it makes the game so much fun by getting caught up in challenges around the board.
Also beware of the endless loop! I got stuck here too, I think somehow Alessia was cheating :) , but it kept her engaged whilst learning which is what these games are all about .
Sum swap is aimed at ages 5+ and can be played with 2-4 players , although I think one on one is great for keeping track of their maths and how well they are learning :)
This game retails at around £13.00 and can be purchased from places like Learning Resources and John Lewis

We love games in our house and I think anything that is educational is even more important at the moment, given how long the children have been out of school.
ReplyDeleteMine are a little old for this one but it looks like a great game x
These sound like such a great thing for kids to play and get to learn more about numbers as well. I think you learn better when your having fun.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a fun game and a great way to get kids more interested in learning about maths - Jack loves maths but Olivia isn't so sure.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun game to keep kids entertained and help them learn some maths in a fun way
ReplyDeleteThis is a good take on making something like Maths a little bit more funner, especially if kiddies struggle, great review.
