The response to my “Add It!” game was so great, that I decided to make a “Subtract It!” Game as well. (Please ignore the ‘add it’ scoops in the pics, I’m just lazy! The Subtract It! game DOES come with “Subtract It” scoops!)
Click here to download Subtract It!
The rules of Subtract It! are simple:
- Place a subtraction flashcard onto the empty white rectangle 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 subtraction flashcard.
- Using the “Scoop”, scoop the correct amount of objects into the recycle bin based on the bottom number on the subtraction flashcard
- Using the “Scoop”, scoop the remaining objects from the top green box down into the bottom yellow box for your answer.
- Count the objects in the bottom yellow box, and place the correct number card onto the bottom of the subtraction flashcard.
- Pick a new card and play again!
The download includes:
- Subtraction flashcards for numbers 1-9 (ie: 1-0, 1-1, 2-0…9-9)
- 0-9 answer number cards
- A game board
- 4 “Subtract It” scoops (I laminated the front only, then glued the scoops to cardboard and cut them out to make them more durable.)

Happy Subtracting!
Mommy Blogger: I don't see why you couldn't use your own flashcards, why spend the extra money on paper/ink!?!
Thanks! As it stands, it looks like it will be about $15 just to print off the necessary pages and get them all laminated (probably less if I can figure it out :D). That's the one downside to not having a color printer 🙂
Erica, this is genius! I just have to say that I found your blog a few weeks ago, and I can apply SO many of your printables in my special education autism class. Your games are perfectly hands-on and interactive for my students, and you have really saved me these past couple of weeks! It’s great to see my students enjoy learning. Thank you so much! Never stop posting!!!
My niece has struggled with subtraction and when I saw this on Pintrest, I instantly knew I needed it to help her. Thank you for the wonderful idea and for sharing.
Hi there, I am new to Pinterest and I just saw your Subtract It game. My daughter is going into K this year and I am going to put this together for her. I love the visual-ness of it. I work with deaf and hard of hearing students and this would be great for them as well. Can I still access the download for the Add it! game as well?
Thanks,
Sue
Thank’s!
I’m a french primary school teatcher and I love it!
