Make math practice fun and engaging with this Make 10 Go Fish card game! Designed to help students master addition facts that add up to 10, this interactive activity puts a twist on the classic Go Fish game. Students will build their mental math skills while playing with partners in an exciting and hands-on way.
How to Prepare:
- Print 4 copies of one color to create a complete set (11 colors included to make enough sets for a class of 22). Each set is uniquely colored to prevent mixing decks.
- Laminate the cards for durability, ensuring they can be used year after year.
How to Play:
- Each player gets five cards, with the remaining cards placed in the center as the "Go Fish" pile.
- Players check their hands for combinations that add up to 10, verbalizing and laying them down if found.
- Instead of asking for matching cards, players request a card from their partner to complete a "10" combination. For example, if holding a 3, the player asks for a 7 (3 + 7 = 10).
- If the partner has the card, they hand it over. If not, the player says, “Go Fish,” and draws from the center pile.
- Play continues until all cards are paired. The player with the most combinations wins!
Perfect for:
- Practicing addition facts in grades 1-3
- Math centers, partner activities, or small groups
- Reinforcing mental math strategies in a fun, interactive way
