As we head into Winter Break, now is the perfect time to keep fact fluency fresh—without adding extra worksheets or stress. One of the best ways to support learning over break is simply playing math card games. They build confidence, strengthen automaticity, and keep students moving forward…all while having fun with family and friends.
⛄ Make Winter Break a Game-Filled Break
Encourage your students to play a few favorite RightStart Math card games over break to keep developing their fact fluency. Games like Go to the Dump, Fraction War, and Multiplication Memory turn practice from boring to fun.
Here are some game ideas:
❄️ Assign specific games to build specific skills
❄️ Provide RightStart Math’s Game Log for students to document what they played
❄️ Invite families to send in pictures showing their game moments
❄️ Have a friendly class competition for “Most Games Played,” “Best Family Game Night,” or “Most Improved Skills”
A little bit of purposeful motivation from you will keep students engaged and growing through the winter break.
⛄ Want to Encourage Even More Participation?
If your school would like to make it easier for families to access materials needed to play the math card games, we can set up a special school discount code just for you. Reach out to us, and we’ll set up a code to share with your families so they can get a discount!
