Are your students Seahawk Fans? Well here is a fun game of Bump to practice addition facts to 12 with a Seahawk theme. Directions are included. Print in color for full Seahawk effect. Go Hawks! Recently ADDED MORE!!! In honor of our NFC Champs, I added some Kinder roll and covers.

This is a great way to reinforce ways to make addition sums of 7 through 12. It is broken into two sessions (7,8, and 9/ 10,11, and 12) to really slow down the process and dig deeper into the building of addition sums. The language, part/part/ whole is used. Students are encouraged to use their counters or they can use a red and yellow crayon to show the number sentence. PLEASE NOTE- The pages are meant to be printed on 11 X 17!
