8 Times Tables - Connect It

"Connect It" is an engaging educational game designed to help children practice and reinforce their knowledge of the 8 times tables. To play, you'll need a set of counters, a deck of cards numbered 0 to 12, and a game board filled with multiples of 8. The game starts with the cards being shuffled and laid face down on a table. Players take turns to draw a card, multiply the number on the card by eight, and then place a counter on the corresponding answer on the board. If the number has already been covered, the player draws another card and continues their turn.

The objective of the game is to be the first to cover four numbers in a straight line—this can be horizontally, vertically, or diagonally—on the game board. For a longer game, players can aim to cover five numbers in a line to win. For example, if a player picks up a card with the number 4 on it, they would cover the number 32 on the board, since 4 multiplied by 8 equals 32. "Connect It" offers a fun and interactive way for children to become more fluent in their 8 times tables, turning what could be a monotonous drill into a competitive and enjoyable activity. The game is part of the "Get The Buzz Games For Tables" series from Buzzard Publishing.
