Students play with a buddy. You give them the cute game board you've chosen for them along with 5 or 10 objects to serve as the "bears" (could be pennies, cubes, whatever you have on hand) and something simple to serve as the cave (upside down bowl, cup, paper plate, brown bag- anything works!) and then teach them how to play... it's SUPER simple and SO fun because it involves closing their eyes and trying to solve the mystery of how many bears are hiding in the cave! It's SO fun that kids don't even think it's "math!"
