Multiplication Table Games

Multiplication - "Top It"

Players: 2 - 4

Materials Needed: Deck of playing cards

• Shuffle the cards and place face down in the middle of the players. Assign number values to face cards from a regular deck in the following way: Aces as 1, Jacks as 10, Queens as 11, Kings as 12.
• Choose which player goes first. 
• The first player draws two cards, turns both cards face up in front of them. 
• Going in a clock-wise direction around the table, from the first player, each of the other players in turn draws two cards from the pile and places the cards face-up in front of them.
• After all players have drawn their two cards and placed them face-up on table, each player multiplies the numbers on their two cards together. 
• Each player in turn player starting with the first player must say aloud their multiplication sentence. For example, if the players draws a 7 and a King, they must say aloud, "7 times 12 = 84".

** If the player calls out the wrong product, the other players have an opportunity to correct the mistake. ** 

• The player with the highest product takes all of cards that the players multiplied together in that round.
• In the event of a tie, put the cards in the middle. The players that tied should repeat the previous steps. Whoever wins the tie-breaker gets all of the cards from the tie as well as the new cards.
• Play continues until there all of the cards in the draw pile are gone.
• Everyone counts their cards and whichever player has the most cards is the winner! Have Fun!!
