Free Online Multiplication Games

There are so many free online flash games on the internet, and they are also really diversified. You can find all sort of games, with all sort of characters (some that are real and other that are fictional). Some of the games are really funny and silly, while others are more serious and even educative for the kids.

From these type of games kids can learn all sort of useful things, such as learn how to count, learn the alphabet, learn the musical notes, and even learn the multiplication. So today we are going to discuss about some free online multiplication games. You will find a few multiplication games on the site www.gamequarium.com. The first one we’ll play is the “Sum Sense Multiplication”.

In this game you have to drag and drop the number cards to make “sum” sense. When you think the cards are in the correct place press the Next button for the next question. You will have to answer at all the 8 questions in maximum 2 minutes. So when the game begins you will have 3 or four random numbered cards, and also 3 or 4 empty spaces. And you will have to drag the cards from above, and place them in the operation, to make it correct. For example if you have a 5, a 5, a 7 and a 3, you will have to place them this way: 5 x 7 = 35. After making the correct arrangement, press the next button to move on to the next numbers.

If the operation is correct the game will let you know by telling you “Well done”, and if the numbers are not placed correctly, then it will say “Try again”. The game can be really fun, especially for the kids, and this way they will learn the multiplication. After completing all the 8 questions you can play the game again, with different numbers, and try to complete it in the shortest time possible.

Now let’s move on to another multiplication game, for example the “Multiplication Grand Prix”. In this one you must click the correct answer to power your car. How quickly you answer determines how fast the car will go. Up to 4 players can play at once. To begin the game you need to either create a new game for your friends to join or you can join a game that was created by someone else. First type your desired name or nickname. And then you can either choose an already existing game or create a new one. If you are lucky you won’t have to wait so much for other players to join in.

And of course you can chat with your friends, and prepare a race with them, and in this case you can make a private room, with a password, so that only you and your friends will play. As the race starts, there will be one multiplication after another. You will have 4 possibilities for each operation and you will have to choose the right one. Depending on how fast you answer and if you got a correct answer, your car will move faster and faster. The game can be really funny and stimulating, especially when played with a friend, and this way your child will learn how to multiply numbers really fast. So here were just 2 fun multiplication games, but of course there are so many more others on the internet. Enjoy them!
