How to Play Skip Counting Spinner

Start by having each player select a game piece colour. The youngest person goes first. Player 1 spins both spinners and uses the two numbers to create a multiplication expression. 

While writing the expression on the recording sheet, Player 1 must find the answer on the game board and place a game piece on top of it. 

Player 2 must check the answer to make sure Player 1 is correct. Now, it is Player 2’s turn following the same steps. 

If a game piece already covers an answer, the play moves on to the next player. The first player to get 4 pieces in a row (horizontal, vertical, or diagonal) first wins!
