All kidding aside, I really love beautiful coffee table games. And this is one game you can get for the kids and leave sitting out. I dare you to not be waiting for a turn, too, while your kids are playing!

This game really is wonderful, from the kindergartner to Grandpa. Do you have children who start out playing games on their chairs, and then eventually you look over and they are all sitting on TOP of the table? What is up with that? I might have competitive children. Highly likely. The traditional game is played with people and has only one side of tiles. I found this variation which is double-sided. The double-sided box is a nice touch for kids.

The game allows two kids to be actively involved at all times. I don't know about you, but I am hard-pressed to find a kid who likes to wait around these here parts.

The box is a simple, wooden square lined with green felt and with two rows of tiles on hinges. The game begins with all tiles open.

The rules are simple: Roll the two dice and add the numbers together. For more wooden puzzle games, check out here! Shut the Box is one of the fun games to play with kids and family! I like it. Thanks for sharing. I often use Shut the Box Game to decide who will be the first player for other games. It becomes popular among my group. Cart translation missing: en. September 25, — Sean Allan.

You can still use the regular game board if you have them, or any other modification you have made.

I like to use a recording sheet for this version. Sometimes you just need your kiddos to work independently! This single player version is perfect for homework, independent work, or as a way to introduce the game to small groups. I give the option of a spinner at the top so that students can play the game at home, even if they do not have dice!

All I had to do was throw in the option of using multiplication and division if ready to have them engaged. I love playing this game with the whole class during morning meeting, or when I find myself with 10 extra minutes in my schedule. I simply split my class into two teams, having each sit on their respective sides of the game board. All you need is to print numbers or on regular 8. Regardless of your student population, math workshop model, or grade level K-3 you can find a way to incorporate this game into your classroom!

I hope you have enjoyed a peek into this amazing game! If you have a different way that you play this game in your classroom, I would LOVE to hear more about it! Thank you for stopping by! I love everything about this post!!

And I love that your version is different than the version I've played too!! Such great ideas!
