The Special Power cards allow you to practice rounding to the nearest 10, square and prime numbers, adding and subtracting and work with place value digits, whilst gaining control of the all important Rudolph card for your team. For an extra challenge there are 3 extra versions of the board to play - the prime number game board, the square number game board and the negative numbers edition whose game board spans from -49 to 50. The class teacher can help all teams keep track of Rudolph's current presents value on the sleigh by annotating the provided game board on the interactive screen. There is a Powerpoint version to display or a flipchart file. This will help all teams decide their tactics and play their next card. Do they steal Rudolph now? Or wait until later in the game? But by then will it be too late? Will another team play a better strategy? Just print out and laminate the game cards if the deck of cards is to be used year after year, but well worth it as KS2 and KS3 children will love using their basic maths skills whilst having fun!
