Holidays Scavenger Hunt-Game Challenge Multiples, prime numbers, square numbers

This game is similar to the previously shared Holidays Scavenger Hunt-Game Multiplication facts, however, is a bit more challenging as the game board is the 100 chart and not the multiplication table. This game uses a spinner instead of dice and encourages the players to practice the multiples of the numbers 2-10, as well as prime and square numbers.

How to play

The players take one scavenger card each. At their turn, they spin the spinner and get one of these choices.

  • multiple of 3,4,5,6,7,8,9 or 10
  • Prime number
  • Square number

They find a number that matches that choice on the table and mark the picture that hides behind that number on their scavenger card.

Instead of a spinner, you can use a deck of playing cards and the player can pick one card at each turn. Include the numbers 3-10 and A for prime, king for square, and even Q for cube number. (8, 27, 64)

The first player to mark all the pictures on their scavenger card is the winner.

When a player gets a choice on the spinner that doesn’t help them mark a picture on their card they wait for their next turn.

Here are the print files to download and the google slides version.

Multi-digit multiplication is considered one of the most “challenging” concepts to teach students.
