Our family loves playing board games. I have always liked it when companies come up with games that are not only fun but educational. Byron's Games has managed to do that with their game Math Sprint - The Mental Math Game. I wish that I would have had this game years ago as my kids are older now, but we still have fun playing it so we could tell you all about it.
Our youngest daughter has never really cared for Math. She would rather be drawing or playing her guitar, so we have had to get creative over the years. This game would have made my job so much easier. It is geared for children 7 and up, but if you have younger ones that love math, you can use this for them as well. It is very versatile and can be adapted for your family's needs.
There are three different ways to play. You can do the 100m dash, the 200m dash or the 400m dash. Depending on the focus level of your child or time you have to play, this is a huge plus! You are in charge!
The game comes with:
- Instructions
- 1 Running Track Gameboard
- 258 Cards
- 10 dry erase cards ( for you to make up your own math problems)
- Dry erase marker
- 8 Runner Playing Pieces
The cards that are included are broken down into 4 card types:
- 92 Addition & Subtraction Cards
- 106 Multiplication & Division Cards
- 30 Wild Cards
- 30 Challenge Cards
You choose what cards to put into your playing deck. It will all depend on who is playing and their age or level in Math. We used all the cards and had a blast. My kids are very competitive so this was very enjoyable for them. If you have a large family you can even play in teams.
The game is simple to play. You pick the race you want to do (100m, 200m, or 400m) and begin to play. Whoever is in the first position will go first. They will be the "coach" and will draw a card for the other racers to answer. They will choose who gets to answer. They may choose only two racers if they want to compete during their time as coach. It's all up to the coach at that time. Everyone gets to be the coach on their turn so it's very fair. If the "coach" chooses a wild card he or she will move their racer however the card tells them to do so. The racers will move ahead as your child gets answers to the math questions correct You keep playing until one makes it to the finish line and that is your winner!
I am not great at explaining how games play out, but I sure love playing them. This was no exception. Even though my kids were a little advanced Math wise for this game, it gave us some laughs and review of our Math facts. Everyone can use a review! Even us adults!!!
