Multiplication Board Game - 4 in a row (robot)

A fun multiplication board game to reinforce knowledge of facts.

Great as a math rotation activity, follow-up activity, early finisher task, etc.

Included:
♦ 12 black/white game boards (x1 – x12)
♦ 12 colour game boards (x1 – x12)
♦ 2 bonus activity sheets – multiplication grids

Refer to the images above to see examples.

How to Play:
A game for 2 players. Player A rolls the dice and multiplies the number with the game board number (whatever is written in the robot’s feet). Player A finds that number on the game board and covers it with one of their counters. Players can only cover one number each time. Player B then has a turn. The first player to get 4 of their counters in a row is the winner. The row may be vertical, horizontal or diagonal.

Equipment Needed:
♦ one game board
♦ some counters (different colour to your opponent)
♦ one 10-sided dice (numbered 1-10)

If you don’t have any 10-sided dice:
If you don’t have any 10-sided dice, you can write 1-10 on some counters/card and place them in a container. Simply ‘pull a number out of the hat’ when it is your turn. Alternatively, you could use the Ace-10 in a pack of playing cards. Give them a good shuffle and turn one card over when it is your turn.
