It's time for another round of Repurposing Old Games! If you haven't seen Part 1 - Shrek Board Game to Integer Adventure, you can find it here. Part 2 - Connect Four to Decimal 4 in a Row, you can find it here.
Repurposing games saves you money and are really easy to do. Your students will also enjoy a twist on an old game.
Today I have a set of poker chips & cards that I picked up for $3 like new. There are so many things you can do with this set! One idea is to create a matching game.
Materials Needed:
◈ poker chips (you can also use water bottle caps)
◈ address labels, paper circles, or write directly on the pieces
◈ scissors or circle punch if you are cutting
◈ marker
The skill I chose was converting fractions, decimals, and percents. I wrote 2 pieces of the match per address label, cut them out, and stuck them on the poker chips.
Once you have the matches set up, your students are ready to play. You can easily use different colored poker chips to differentiate for your students. This game is perfect for your math stations or math centers.
