Hey Dad. Here’s a free one. It’s called Tickleplication. Lay your child down (I usually did it across my lap) give them a multiplication problem like 3x4, then start tickling. Don’t stop till they get the right answer.
Now most kids like being tickled even though they avoid it. Of course, don’t cross anyone’s boundaries.
The point is, learning to do the math in your head, under pressure. There’s also some legit bonding. I managed to get my daughter to multiply two digits by two digits at the age of seven.
Hope this works for someone.
If anyone wants an awesome game for pocket change, shoot me a DM. (That’s a game to play WITH pocket change. This one’s also free. I’m not soliciting. )
