Salute

Salute is a fun and silly math game that we play. Students are divided into groups of three using fair sticks. The cards are dealt to only two players. Each of those two players place a card on their forehead facing the other two players (not looking at their own card). The third player tells the sum of the two cards. Each of the players with cards have to guess what number they have on their forehead. This is great practice for addition facts. It is also a little introduction into algebra because they are figuring out a variable. This game can be adapted for subtraction and multiplication. All it takes is a deck of cards.
