These free math games are sure to become a fan favorite in your homeschool days! If you’re looking for a fun and easy way to spice up your homeschool math lessons, keep reading because I’ve got a great (free!) resource to share with you!

It is so easy to get stuck in the rut that is math worksheets. I totally get it. They’re easy. Just print and go, math work for the kids is ready and done within seconds.

But…what if you could add a bit of excitement to the math portion of your homeschool day? An engaging activity that could really help to solidify those math skills? An educational activity that your kids actually look forward to? Enter: Beast Academy Playground. I’m telling you, it’s a game changer for making math fun and memorable for your kids.

Let’s chat a bit about why I’m loving this math resource so much, m’kay?

Quality Math Games for Kids Made Easy

Now, just to give a bit of background, my elementary-age boys actually do pretty well with math. My youngest calls himself “Mathematical Matthew” (such a cute kid, I’m telling you) and my oldest impresses me every.single.day with his ability to solve math problems in his head. I count my lucky stars that they enjoy (and understand!) math.

So, when it comes to math, my boys are fans. They’d be happy doing solving math problems all day long, but…like you, I’m a busy parent! One reason I especially love the Beast Academy Playground site is that it’s EASY to find fun, interactive, hands-on games for the kids.

It’s practically effortless to find appropriate, skill-building free math games for the kids ages 4-11 on the Beast Academy Playground website. You can easily filter through their available games by selecting options such as age and activity type. Not only that, but you also have access to details that homeschool parents and teachers especially appreciate: common core standards and classroom tips! If you live in a state that requires keeping track of common core standards, this feature is GOLD. Just click on the “for teachers” tab on your Beast Academy Playground screen and they’re all yours!

In addition, you can expand and really solidify the skills learned by asking your kiddos some of the discussion questions provided in the “for teachers” section of the games you choose.

As my kids would say, “easy peasy, lemon squeezy!”

Unplug with Offline Math Games

Like so many other kids these days, my boys are BIG into games. Whether it be video games, board games, made up games they play in the backyard…they’re down for a good time. I can’t blame them! I’m all about having fun and, when there’s an educational aspect to that fun, you can bet I’m game! (pun not intended…or was it?!)

With all the screen time my boys already get (some of it is educational, so I’m ok with that), I’m always happy to find a “new to me” educational resource that does NOT require a screen. While Beast Academy Playground is a website, you might be pleasantly surprised to learn that the activities they suggest don’t require a screen at all!

Once you peruse the website and decide on a game to play, you’ll be happy to know that all of the games are played with common household items. We’re talking paper, dice, markers, trashcans…like, “taking it back to the games we’d play in the 90s” kind of simple.

Time is valuable. I love that the Beast Academy Playground games are all pretty easy to set up and don’t require a ton of time. I would much rather spend quality time with my kids than setting up extensive games and I’m willing to bet you feel the same way.

One more thing before we finish up! If you have multiple children, you’ll be happy to know that these games can definitely be played without your physical participation. When I first started exploring the website with my kids, I’d play the game with them once or twice and then, once they got the hang of it, they were able to play with each other. Then, I just sat on the sidelines and considered their activity to be both a math and character education activity because they were taking turns and working out any issues between the two of them.

Ever since then, my kids have actually asked to play these free math games…even when we’ve considered our homeschool activities to be “done” for the day! Awesome, right?
