Addition Splat!
The game that makes addition
facts splat-tabulous!
For 2 to 6 players
Object of Game:
To be the first player to flip over all
of his or her Addition Splat cards by
matching the sums called.
Before You Play:
The cards are divided into three
color-coded decks, which include
50 addition problem cards and
25 calling cards each. For optimal
play, use one colored deck per four
students. You may wish to combine
two colored decks if you are playing
with more students. Shuffle the
cards you have chosen to play with,
and then shuffle the coordinating
calling cards. After playing with
one colored deck of cards, continue
playing with the next colored deck.
Directions (3–6 players)
1. Deal six cards to each student.
Instruct students to place cards
in a grid with the addition
problems face up in front of
them on the desk or table.
2. Using the calling cards, read
each sum out loud one at a
time, allowing enough time for
students to look over their cards.
3. If the student has a card with
a matching problem, he or she
says “Splat!” and flips that card
over. If the student has more
than one card in front of him or
her with a matching problem, he
or she flips over both cards.
4. When a student has flipped over
all of his or her cards, the student
says “Super Splat!”
5. Have the student read the
addition problems on his or
her cards back to you. If the
problems match the sums that
were called, the player wins the
round!
Options
1. To play with two students, or for
one-on-one practice, remove
cards with duplicate sums from
one colored deck so you have
25 addition problems left in the
deck. Play as above.
2. Create a memory game with
the cards by removing pairs of
problems with the same sum
from the decks, mixing them up,
and placing them face down on
a table in a grid.
