Primary Children Games

Primary games for children are easily accessible on the Internet as well as in stores. There are ample games to choose from, and they come in many categories. Fortunately, many of these games also provide skills in grade school subjects, such as math and spelling. Playing games is part of being a child, and having them interwoven into a study option is a great asset for parents.
  1. Reverse Bingo

    • Multiplication Bingo helps kids learn multiplication facts.

      Reverse Bingo is a multiplication game for students learning their factors. Make Bingo cards choosing 25 numbers from 1 to 36. Explain to the children that the numbers must be those that are multiples only of one through six. Place the numbers randomly in five rows on the Bingo card. Write the numbers in the upper left hand corner of each of the 25 Bingo squares, leaving room for the tokens to be placed without hiding numbers. Choose tokens such as small coins, pebbles or popcorn kernels to place on the card. The tokens are placed on the card in full, before the game begins. Children roll two dice, and then multiply the two digits on the dice together for the bingo number. As a number is called, the token is removed off the card for that number, until the numbers are gone for a win.

    Jigsaw Puzzle

    • Kids can make their own jigsaw puzzles.

      Jigsaw puzzles can be made by the primary-aged child as a game to play. See reference 6 for a puzzle template to print, or make your own. Have the child draw a picture on the template, and then color it in. After gluing the picture on to a piece of cardboard, cut around the dotted lines and mix the pieces up for the child to solve his puzzle.
