GO CARDS

addition · adding two dice and matching card values to sums

To fluently add numbers with sums up to 20

GO CARDS is a Grade 2 addition game where dice sums determine which cards students can play. On a turn, a student rolls two dice, finds the sum, and checks whether a card in hand matches that value. Face cards extend the possible values, and Kings can serve as flexible numbers, so students repeatedly add small quantities and connect each sum to a numeral.

Use it in a small group for fluency practice with sums up to 20. Because students must calculate before deciding whether they have a playable card, every turn gives another quick addition check without turning the activity into a timed worksheet.
