5 Times Tables - Connect It

"Connect It" is an engaging and educational game designed to help players practice and reinforce their knowledge of the 5 times tables. To set up, you will need a set of counters, a "Multiples of 5 Board" featuring numbers that are multiples of 5, and a deck of cards numbered 0 to 12. The game starts with the cards being shuffled and placed face down on a table. Players take turns to draw a card and multiply the number by five. They then place a counter over the corresponding multiple on the board. For instance, if a player draws a card with the number 6, they would cover the number 30 on the board because 6 times 5 equals 30.

The objective of the game is to be the first player to cover a sequence of four numbers in a straight line, which can be achieved horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. For those looking for a longer game, the goal can be extended to covering five numbers in a line. If a player draws a card and the multiples on the board have already been covered, they set the card aside and take another turn. This game, published by Buzzard Publishing in 2018 and featured in the "Get The Buzz Games For Tables" collection, is not only fun but also an excellent way for children and adults alike to become fluent in their 5 times tables.
