Decimal Skittles for Kids

1) The document describes a game called "Daring Decimal Skittles" that combines rolling a ball to knock over skittles with practicing decimal addition. 2) To play, players take turns rolling a ball to knock over skittles decorated with decimal numbers, then add the numbers of any skittles they knock over to calculate their score. 3) The player with the highest score after all players have taken their turns is the winner. The game can be made more challenging by using skittles with numbers having two or three decimal places.

Daring Decimal

Skittles
Have fun with an energetic game of skittles, and
test your decimal adding skills at the same time.

You will need: What to do


• 6 –10 skittles (see 1. Find a good place to play skittles – a corridor or long
below for how to room or some flat ground outside.
make skittles) · Cut out the cards. (Check with an adult before
• Tennis ball using scissors.)
• Printed Decimal · Stick one decimal number card onto each skittle.
Number Cards · Place your skittles in a triangle, with a point of the
• Scissors triangle facing the other end of your space.
· Agree the amount of turns each player will get.
• Sticky tape, sticky
tack or glue 2. Take it in turns to roll the ball at the skittles, trying
• Pencil to knock over as many as possible.
• Paper 3. Add the numbers on any knocked over skittles.
This is your score.
4. Set up the skittles again for the next player.
5. The winner is the person with the highest score when
everyone has had all of their turns.
When you’re ready, make the game harder by using some
of the numbers on the second sheet of number cards,
which have numbers with 2 or 3 decimal places.

To make skittles, you will need:


• Between 6 and 10 washed out old plastic bottles of the
same size, e.g. water or soft drink bottles
• Some sand, soil or flour
What to do
Put about 2cm of sand, soil or flour in the bottom of each
bottle. You need to have enough weight to stop them
being blown over, but little enough so that they can
easily be knocked down by your ball. And that’s it!
