Salute!

Salute is a game for three: 2 players  and an announcer. It is a great game for children from grade 1 to grade 3. Playing the game develops fluency in addition and subtraction using numbers 1-10. The link to this game includes cards and backing for cards, but this game can be played using a regular deck of cards if you remove all the face cards. 

To play, shuffle the cards and place them face down. The 2 players each draw a card and without looking at it, hold it to their forehead so the other player can see the card but they cannot. The announcer looks at the cards on the forehead of the two players and announces the total. The players can see the addend their opponent holds, and requires them to find the missing addend. This form of questioning asks the players to consider the part-whole relationships in numbers. Although the announcer does not hold a card, he or she must initially add the numbers and give the players their sum. The announcer must also check the other student's answers, and is therefore actively involved in computations. 

Older children can use the cards to practice multiplication and division. The announcer would multiply the two cards, and the other two would have to divide the answer by the number they see on their opponent's card.
