There are two versions to the game … addition and multiplication. The only difference is the way that scores are determined. Choose the version that is age appropriate for all players.

Setup

  1. Find an empty egg carton. Do not try to use a carton that still contains eggs.
  2. Using a marker or pen write the numbers 1 to 12 in the bottom of the carton … one number in each hole. You don’t have to go in order … mix it up.

Play

  1. Youngest player goes first! Place the pebbles in the carton and close the lid.
  2. Shake the carton to move the pebbles around.
  3. Open the carton!
  4. To determine your score combine the numbers … either addition or multiplication.
  5. Keep a tally of each players scores.
  6. First player to 100 wins.

Variations

  • Start players at 100 points and subtract each turn. First player to 0 wins.
  • Try three pebbles instead of two.

 

Journal Questions
  1. Did you like the game? Which version did you play … addition or multiplication.
  2. Does it make a difference how hard or how long you shake the carton?
  3. Upload a picture of your carton and pebbles.

Earn badges and qualify for prize drawing by registering and answering journal questions. It's fun and easy!
