Educational Game: Jump One series

I'm adding this math game set to my posts about Educational Games!

Today I'm writing about Jump One (and series) by Melon Rind.


This is a mom-owned company... and I think we have EVERY ONE of the games she has created (Jump! Clumsy Thief! Check the Oven/Fridge!).

If you are an Instagram person you can follow her over there.

The Jump series focuses on skip counting (she has made games from Jump One to Jump Nine). You play by putting down a card from your hand that is one skip count above or below the number on top of the discard pile(s).


To scaffold this for younger players, we make wheels that show 10 skip counts of the number. (If you are at the top of the wheel, you can play the card below the biggest number, or start going around the wheel again.)


Sometimes you draw a special card which allows you to jump to any spot. That means I've spent a significant amount of time sourcing stickers!


Here are the stickers I have found, if this is helpful for someone else!


Our papers are 5 1/2 x 6 inches, and I trace a 4 inch diameter wooden bowl to make the circle. I like to get center stickers that are about 1 1/4 inches.
