Students will have a great time trading game cards and scanning QR codes while solving problems with decimals.

The Round Royal Kingdom Game should be played as a team game before students work in small groups. This allows you to demonstrate how to set up the game, scan QR codes, and more. It might take more than one class period to finish the game. A scorecard is provided for players or teams to record their results so they can pick up where they left off at a later time.

All problems align with the 5th-grade Common Core State Standards. QR codes are included on 48 task cards to add more excitement to the game.

Your students may play the game with or without using the QR codes. In case your students do not have access to an electronic device with a QR code reader, I have included an answer key/instruction sheet to play the game. To use the QR codes, you will need to download a QR code reader app to your students’ electronic devices. The device must also have a camera.

If you wish for your students not to play the game, they can solve the decimal problems on the task cards and check their answers using the QR codes or the answer key.

Included:

48 total task cards

Set 1 (24 task cards) skills include: 6 different card designs

Game summary:

• Players collect and trade cards throughout the game.
• The first player to become king or queen of The Round Royal Kingdom.
• Each player picks a task card and solves the math problem on their paper. The math problems are simple problems to reinforce decimal skills. Players scan the QR code (or use the answer key) to check their answers and read instructions for their turn.

The instructions on the QR codes/instruction sheet will tell a player to:

• Pick staff member cards from the Kingdom or pick a wizard card from the Kingdom.

- Watch out for the wizard cards. There are good and bad wizard cards that will make players trade cards, take cards, etc.

- Staff member cards have point values of 50 points, 100 points, 150 points, 200 points, and 250 points.

- Staff member cards are traded for princes and princesses and then traded for a king or a queen.
