If you are looking for some math games for Christmas, I got you covered! And if you are looking for some free Christmas resources, I also have them!
Let me share with you 5 ideas that can bring your students lots of festive fun while learning math at the same time.
Add these Christmas-themed math resources to your list of math activities for Christmas to keep your students engaged this December!
In this list of mine, there are games that suit from grade 1 all the way to grade 7.
Rest assured that as a math teacher, the resources mentioned will always have math components.
Topics include number bonds to 10, multiplication, division, fractions, decimals, and percentage.
#1: Math Escape Room
Students always look forward to escape room, so don’t leave it out in this holiday season! I think one of the reasons why students enjoy playing escape games is because it consists of a variety of games in one session. (As a teacher, I love escape games because students will willingly do the review questions without groaning or complaining.) So get these popular games and let your students do some Christmas math drills today!
If you don’t want the fuss of preparing the materials and prepping the room, these Christmas math online games can be used for virtual lessons too. Check out two of my math review escape room games.
#2: Quiz Game Show
Quiz game shows are perfect for reviewing concepts as a whole class or small groups. So, remember to include them in your Christmas math lesson plans!
To match the theme, you can make a Christmas mask, hat, or Rudolf nose for students. When students play the Christmas Fractions Quiz Game Show, those who are going to answer the question can wear it.
Fractions Christmas Activities
Students will enjoy reviewing converting mixed numbers and improper fractions, adding and subtracting like and unlike fractions, comparing and ordering fractions, equivalent fractions, and practicing word problems involving fractions with this engaging Jeopardy® style math gameshow!
This no-prep and interactive Boom™ Deck will be a great addition to your math activities for Christmas!
#3: Math Board Games
Let’s not forget the traditional Christmas math games printable. They are usually NO PREP (which means time saver) and can be played in pairs or small groups. They are great for math centers or stations. If you need to reinforce multiplication and division, these Christmas themed board games will be perfect for you.
2 and 3
Christmas Math Board Games for Multiplication and Division contain 1 game with 28 different boards. Students can be given games with the facts that are most appropriate for their abilities (great for differentiation). Each game is for 2 players.
#4: Math Maze
Mazes can be fun and educational. Online mazes help you to save time especially when it is NO PREP and self-checking.
This resource has 10 mazes. You can assign the math facts you want your students to practice on.
#5: Math Search Game
Instead of Christmas themed word search, search for math equations! Students will first solve the math facts and then search for the math equations. When they find them on the grid, they will tick the equation on the list to cross them off.
In Multiplication Christmas Games, students will get to practice multiplying by 2 to 10. If you played this in Boom Learning, it requires no preparations on your part and is self-checking.
However, if you prefer printable for students to work on, don’t fret! This resource has 3 versions, all with slight differences, and was modified for the specific platform.
