Dobble card game designed to be used for ES 3rd grade numbers unit.
If you don't know Dobble, the basic idea is that every card has one image/word/etc that matches to every other card. In this version, the words are numbers and also feelings and characters (as I needed more words to fill up the cards!)
Students get into groups of 3-5 (depending on class size), shuffle the cards and place one in the middle. The rest of the cards are in 1 pile and the students take turns turning over a card. When they find a matching number on both cards, they call out the number - fastest wins the card. Then repeat until the pile is finished and the student with the most cards is the winner.
Included vocabulary:
- Numbers 1-20
- Feelings (happy, hungry, sad, angry, sleepy)
- Characters (Pikachu, Doraemon, Kirby) - not really vocabulary but it gets them excited haha!
I've made the cards with a backing, so if you print double sided it should work out super easy to cut out :)
Enjoy!
Love this game!
Great game. How to print?
@lessenthedmg I hope you can enjoy the game in class!
@lowpayne if you can print double sided, select the flip on long edge option! If you can't (which I didn't think I could do until I'd already printed 3 sets!!) you'll have to stick the backing onto the card manually, or instead just back on to coloured card!
How long does this game usually take to complete?
@AdamG93 I haven't actually played this variation of dobble with my students yet but a different version I have played in class with the same amount of cards usually takes a few minutes for a single round, so I just have them play a few times in maybe 6-10 mins depending on how long it took to explain/how much time we have left in class and keep track of how many times they won!
Thanks. I played this with my JHS Year 1 students and they loved it! Cutting out enough cards for near 40 students per class took forever though. Would definitely recommend buying a Dobble set instead if at all possible.
@AdamG93 I'm glad they liked it! Yeah, unfortunately making card games for big classes is quite time consuming :(
