• early algebraic thinking
• geometry
• data analysis
• probability
• measurement
• and more!

Capture Students’ Imaginations:

• Every game uses a fun Wild West theme to engage the children, then take them on a "Wild Ride along the Concept Range."

Allow for Cooperative OR Competitive Play:

• Game rules allow the games to be played either cooperatively, or competitively. You decide, based on your students needs and emotional readiness.

Feature Fun & Artistic Gameboards:

• Gameboards are designed by award-winning artist Sally Blakemore. Their engaging look adds to student appeal.

ACTUALLY TEACH CONCEPTS through Play:

DON’T STRESS YOU OUT!

• Teachers are already under plenty of stress! So Singing Turtle has designed these games to be easy to learn, play, and set up. Best of all, all you need to play them are standard playing cards, and the fully reproducible gameboards and worksheets included in every book.

Concept / Game Examples

Addition and Subtraction Facts:

• Play "Quicksand." In this game, students get transformed into cowhands clambering up a sheer cliff above a Quicksand Pit. To reach the safety by grabbing an overhanging tree branch, they must strategically and carefully use their addition and subtraction facts.

• Play "Roundup Rivals," where children become rival ranchers trying to rustle up the most cattle by getting as close as possible to 99 cattle, or 999, in the advanced game.

 

Probability:

• Play the totally addictive "Galloping Guesses" game, where children use probability and reasoning to make educated guesses about whether a face-down card has a red or black suit.

 

Measurement:

• Play "Sizing Up Snakes," where children learn about both non-standard and standard measurement units by creating "rattlesnakes" of different lengths.

 

Early Algebraic Thinking:

• Play "Bucking Broncos," the game that teaches youngsters how algebraic functions work. But chidren best be careful! If they get the function wrong three times, they get bucked off the bronco. Ouch!
