Learn to play cribbage! End of the Year Fun Math Games
Cribbage is a great game for students to learn to help with math skills, problem solving, and community. I use this slide show to teach my 2nd, 3rd, or 4th graders how to play cribbage. It works especially well for small group GT, but can be used with the whole class as well. The key is to break it down into easier steps since it can be a complicated game. This lesson breaks it all down for you (I recommend teaching it in 4 separate lessons with practice in between). Practice hands are included

Build Your Own Clock! No-Prep Hands-On Activity for Learning to Tell Time
This no-prep hands-on activity gives students the chance to build their very own clock with working hands! The student compares their work with a real clock in the classroom to determine where to paste each number and which hand is the minutes or hour hand. Then, using a brad (and maybe a bit of help from the teacher!) they can attach their clock hands to the clock face and use this tool to begin to make their own times. My students LOVED quizzing each other with these and getting to make it the
