3 Fun (and Free!) Printable Multiplication Facts Games

Multiplication facts practice doesn’t have to mean just flash cards and worksheets. Your kids will love playing these free printable multiplication facts games. All of them are classic children’s games –but with a multiplication fact twist. 

These are 3 of my favorite games for helping kids master the multiplication facts. (Psst…you can download the game boards and printable directions at the bottom of the article.)

Multiplication Fact Bingo

Materials

• Regular deck of playing cards with face cards removed
• 1 Multiplication Facts Bingo game board per player, customized according to the directions on the bottom (Download your free printable game boards at the link below.)
• About 15 small objects per player for covering spots on the board (dried beans, small blocks, etc.)

Object of the game

Be the first player to cover 5 squares in a row, either across, down, or diagonal

How to play

The dealer shuffles the cards and turns over the top two. Have your child multiply the two cards together and say the product. For example, if the cards are a 2 and 9, your child would say “18.”

Each player covers a square containing the product. Continue until one of you wins by filling in an entire column, row, or diagonal.

Multiplication Fact Yahtzee

Materials

• 2 dice
• 1 printable Multiplication Fact Yahtzee game board for each player. (Download your free printable game boards at the link below.)
• About 15 small objects per player for covering spots on the board (dried beans, small blocks, etc.)

Object of the game

Be the first person to cover all the numbers on your game board.

How to play

On your turn, roll two dice. Multiply the two numbers together and cover the number that matches the product of the two dice. For example, if you role a 3 and a 4, say “3 times 4 equals 12” and cover a 12. If the product is already covered, play passes to the next player. The first person to cover all of the numbers on their game board wins.

Quick version

Have everyone play simultaneously with their own dice, as fast as they can.

Multiplication Fact War

Materials

One regular deck of cards, with jacks, queens, and kings removed.

Object of the game

Win the most cards.

How to play

As in the regular card game War, shuffle the cards and deal out an equal number of cards to each player. Players place their cards face down in a pile.

To play, turn over the top two cards in your pile and announce their product. For example, if you turn over a 3 and a 5, say, “5 times 3 equals 15.” Then the other player turns over two cards and announces their product.

Whoever’s product is greater wins all 4 cards. If the products are equal, play again. The player whose product is greater wins all 8 cards. Set aside the cards that are won.

Play until both players use up all the cards they were dealt. Whoever wins the most cards wins the game.
