Jump 4 - Multiples of 4 Game

This game is very similar to other melon rind number games- like the clumsy thief. You can play by taking turns or all at once. The goal is to play your cards onto the center pile by laying a card that is either 4 more or 4 less. It’s a great way to build familiarity with your multiples of 4- either for skip counting, addition, and especially for multiplication. The cards are well printed on standard card playing cardstock. There is a level of strategy to this game, similar to uno, but it’s not ALL strategy. Melon rind games are great for building math skills, especially in how numbers relate to one another. The only bummer to me is that this only goes up to 40, instead of 48. As you generally need to memorize time tables until at least 12 (if not 15) this makes it fall just a smidge short for that purpose. But the game is so fun and we’ll designed, and once you have the 1st 10 multiples of a number you can just learn tricks to determine all the others. This is definitely worth having and I’m glad it’s in my homeschool collection.

My daughter is working on skip counting and this game is a fun way to work on the 4s! We are homeschooling and love to make learning fun when we can. We also love the little box this came in! It’s very sturdy and slides open like a drawer. Most of my card game boxes are torn and tossed almost immediately so this is a nice change of pace. The illustrations on the cards are well done and very cute! Overall, this is a winner!

So many card games are counting by 1s. But this one enables kids to count by 3 or 4 or 5. It’s excellent. It’s like speed or dutch blitz. Can be face paced or modified fo be slower for new learners. We played 8 games in a row. And he kept saying how fun it was.

This game is a total hit with my kids! It’s super fun and easy to play, with multiple ways to enjoy it, which keeps things interesting. The quality of the cards is great—they’re thick and durable, so I know they’ll last through plenty of game nights. Plus, the sturdy storage box keeps everything organized. This game is perfect for families, teachers, or anyone looking to make math more engaging. Recommended!

As a homeschool family, I’m always looking to incorporate games that help solidify and/or teach different concepts. This game is awesome for helping with math, without the kids feeling like they are doing work. It’s a quick game plan and straight forward rules make it a great addition to your home.
