7 Times Tables - Connect It

"Connect It" is an engaging and educational game designed to help children practice and reinforce their knowledge of the 7 times tables. To play, you will need counters, a "Multiples of 7" board that displays numbers from 0 to 84 in a random pattern, and a set of cards numbered 0 to 12. The game starts with all the cards being shuffled and placed face down on the table. Players take turns to draw a card, multiply the number on the card by seven, and then cover the corresponding answer on the board with a counter. For example, if a player picks up a card with the number 4, they would cover the number 28 on the board, since 4 times 7 equals 28.

The objective of the game is to be the first player to cover four numbers in a straight line, which can be horizontal, vertical, or diagonal, much like the game of "Connect Four." For a longer game, players can aim to cover five numbers in a straight line to win. If a player draws a card and the multiples of 7 for that number are already covered on the board, they set that card aside and take another turn. "Connect It" is not only fun but also a fantastic way for children to become fluent in their 7 times tables, all while enjoying a bit of friendly competition.
