Fraction Games For Young Children

• Fraction Flashcards - you can purchase them from any children's store or make your own

• Divide the group into 3 teams.

• The first team gives the second team 2 fraction flashcards.

• The second team has 2 minutes to decide if the second fraction is more, less, or equal to the first fraction. The third team has 30 seconds to pass or challenge the answer.

• In the next round, the second team presents the fractions and the third decides if they are more, less, or equal. The first team can challenge.

• You will continue rotation for each round. Five points are scored for a correct answer; 5 are taken away in the challenge is wrong. 25 points wins the game.

• Divide the kids into 2 groups, draw a tic-tac-toe grid on board, write an "x" on the right side of the board, and an "O" on the left side of the board as each groups logo.

• Have 1 child from each group approach a blackboard, an adult calls out questions having to do with fractions, and the children write the correct answer as quickly as possible.

• The first kid with the correct answer, writes their groups logo on the tic-tac-toe grid, the first team to get a straight line of 3 is the winning team.
