Monster Math!
It is a super fun game I made back in October, but never got to blog
about because, well, I was super busy, you know, with the new baby and
all.
We played with it all the time back at Halloween and
occasional it cycles back out into play, especially for awesome math
celebrations like last week’s Pi Day.
To play monster math, simply use felt or colored paper to
cut out lots of monster eyes, horns, teeth, mouths, arms, legs and body. Each player gets a body.
A roll of the dice determines the number of body parts one
places on their monster body. In
Aurora’s version, she rolls the dice and carefully counts the divots to
determine the number of the chosen body part. Then she announces the number she would rather have and
turns the dice in her fingers until she finds that number.
Unfortunately, there are no pictures of Aurora’s monsters, which are way, way cooler and more creative than mine, as Aurora occasionally forbids photographs.
