Harry Potter and the Magic of Multiplication

Isn’t this printable Harry Potter multiplication game stunning? Inspired by a Minecraft multiplication game from Royal Baloo that is also pretty darn awesome, Erin at Nourishing My Scholar made this Harry Potter version because that’s what her son wanted.

This is a subscriber only download but totally worth it for Harry Pottern fans who need to practice their multiplication facts.

There are 12 different patterns on the board and the game cards, and to win the player needs to collect one of each by correctly answering the math problem on the other side.

This is such a clever idea and while I’m not saying it would be easy to customize, you could make different versions for whatever your kid is into. You could even do some of it by hand with cardstock or scrapbook paper that was already printed if you have some of that laying around.

I’ll definitely have to save this one until the girl has read Harry Potter.
