Buzz game
Buzz game is one of the fun math games for kids, and a cool concentration game! It's also one of the fast paced counting games where kids can show off their love of numbers.
2 or more players Ages 8 and up Need paper and pencils to keep score Players get into a circle and begin counting in sequence. Play goes around to the left. Each player shouts out one number when it's her turn. If a multiple of 7 comes up, or a number with a 7 in it, that number has to be replaced with "buzz!" Example, "4", "5", "6", "buzz!" "8", etc. The next numbers to be buzzed are 14, 17, 21, 27, 28. When play reaches the numbers in the 70's, all of these are buzzed. And, any numbers, such as 70 and 77, which are multiples of 7 and have a 7 in it are "double buzzes". The game is fast paced. If a player takes too long, misses buzzing, or buzzes at a wrong place, he is penalized, and the game starts over by a player calling out "one". The game can be played until "100" is reached. The player with the least amount of penalty points wins. If "100" seems to take too long to reach, elimination points can be assigned to each person. If, say, a player receives 3 penalty points he will be totally out of the game, and the last player still playing is the winner.
