Long Three Men’s Morris

Long Three Men’s Morris is a Grade 2 place-value game that turns red and black playing cards into tens and ones. Students draw one card of each color, identify which digit belongs in the tens place and which belongs in the ones place, say the two-digit number aloud, and mark that number on the board. The goal of making three marks in a row adds strategy to the place-value practice.

Use it for partner or small-group review when students are composing and reading two-digit numbers. Ask students to verbalize the tens and ones before covering a number so the place-value reasoning stays explicit.
