Hi everyone! Are you looking for a fun way to teach addition to your children that doesn’t involve flashcards in the typical way? Well, look no further! I created this fun game called “Add It!” and I wanted to share it with you all today!
(Note: I edited the game board so it now goes left to right. This picture is opposite what the board looks like in the download. Thanks for the suggestion Gwendolyn, that does make more sense!)
How to play the game:
- Take an addition flashcard and place it on the game board.
- Using any manipulative of your choice, place the correct amount
of objects into the top green box based on the top number on the
addition flashcard.
- Place the correct amount of objects into the middle yellow box
based on the bottom number on the addition flashcard. - Using the “Scoop”, scoop all of the objects from the green box &
the yellow box, down into the blue box. - Count the total of objects and place the correct number card
onto the bottom of the addition flashcard.
- Pick a new card and play again!
The download includes:
- Addition flashcards for numbers 0-9 (ie: 1+1, 1+2, 1+3…1+9)
- 1-20 answer number cards
- A game board
- 4 “Add It” scoops (I glued mine to cardboard then cut them out to make them more durable.)

Wow, thank you so much! This is SUPER!!
I love it, thank you!
Too cool!
You are such a gem for sharing this creation with everyone. Thank you for your talent AND kindness!
This is so funny, I seriously saw that at Lakeshore last weekend and was thinking what a great idea it was (and how I would never pay that much for it). Thanks for making it available.
What a cool game! THanks for sharing it with us. Have you seen a book called Felt Bugs or something like that? My daughter just got it yesterday and it is really cute, putting the bugs where they go as you add.
This is great! My son is going to love this game. I love that you put your blog name on all your printables. It makes it much easier to remember where I found things (in case I need to print again and to give credit if I show on my blog) since my brain is mush these days. 🙂
Wow this is fabulous! Thank you for taking the time to make this and make it available to everyone. I really appreciate your blog; it's very helpful!
This is great! You are super woman! I love it and can't wait to give it a try when my little ones are ready!!!Thank you!!
I printed this out and used it today. My 4 year old LOVED it and we will certainly be using this often. Great idea! Great blog! Thanks for sharing!
