Power of Ten Games

In Kindergarten, when we are learning about numbers to ten, we often use power of ten cards or ten frames.  After calendar, we use the big ten frames as flash cards and the kids have to recognize the arrangement of colored squares quickly and jump that many times.  They are getting quicker every day and it also helps as a movement break!  Now that we are getting used to the cards the kids are learning to play games with them.  The first one we learned is called Face Off.  The kids must deal the cards between partners and then each flips one card into the center.  Each child must say their own number as quickly as they can and are allowed to count if necessary.  The child with the largest number gets the cards or we can play that the child with the lowest number gets the cards.  We decide before the game starts, of course!
