This is a fun math game to use as a math warm up and to get adrenaline pumping at the beginning of math class! It is also useful to reinforce counting from 1-100. Because of the fast-paced, exciting nature of this game, it is great for a variety of ages.
My teacher community has come up with lots of ideas for how this game can be modified. Here are a few of those modification ideas:
- Rather than counting from 1-100, have students count backwards from 100-1 or skip-count (for example, skip-count by 5’s from 0-500).
- Use a 100 or 120 chart to help students keep their counting organized.
- Instead of counting to 100, have students fill in a blank multiplication chart each time they roll doubles.
Here’s the complete video explanation of this game. The downloadable instructions are available below.
Enjoy!

Love this game – Can’t wait to show my kids tomorrow. I will play versus the class to demonstrate. May need my ear plugs!
So fun! My first graders loved it. Thank you!
For older kids, the students have to call out the sum of the doubles they rolled before they can take the pen to keep writing to one hundred. The kids ready for the double and double again (4) strategy can call out the double and then call out the double again sum before taking the pen to write to 100.
So excited to try this out for my summer school kiddos. Sounds like a fun game! Thank you! 🙏
Love, love, love this!!!! Thank you for sharing. Can’t wait to introduce this game to my grade 2’s when we go back.
