 The game we are playing today is called Spoonful of Patterns. Using multiplication within 100, create a pattern using only 4 cards. Watch out for the spoons, you must grab one to stay in the game. The materials needed for this game include the spoonful of patterns, cards, and spoons. You need one less spoon than the number of players. To set up the game, sit in a circle facing one another. Then, place one less spoon than the number of players in the middle of the circle. Before starting the game, create as many patterns as you possibly can using all the cards. Play a few practice rounds with the cards face up to get the hang of how the game is played. Now, moving on to the game, first deal each player 4 cards. Place the remaining cards next to the player to the right of the dealer. The goal of the game is to create a pattern with 4 cards. The pattern must include a consecutive multiples of the same number. For example, a pattern could be 18, 27, 36, and 45. For all other players, pick up one card at a time as cards are passed to you. If a card fits your pattern, keep it. Choose a card you don't need and pass it face down to the left. Just remember, you may not have more than 4 cards in your hand at any time. The player to the right of the dealer stacks the cards the players don't want to use. Cards that reach this player are not recycled back into the game. Once a player has created a 4 card pattern, the player grabs a spoon from the middle. All remaining players are now able to grab a spoon as well. If you do not grab a spoon, you are out for the rest of the game. The player must show the pattern and other players must agree the player is correct. To begin the next round, decrease the number of spoons by one and replay the game. Continue this process until only one player remains. The player remaining in the game wins. Throughout the game, you should be thinking about these questions. Pause the video to read them. Here are some variations of the game. For these variations, called Spell Spoon, all players stay in the game the entire time. After everyone has grabbed a spoon, the player without a spoon gets a letter in the word spoon. The player with the least number of letters at the end of the game wins. Limit the pattern is perfect for players who want to challenge themselves. To play this version, players are not allowed to collect patterns that include factors of 2, 5, or 10. If a player uses a pattern with these numbers and grabs the first spoon, they are out of the game. For more about the game, follow the link to visit the instructional guide included below this video.
