MelissaMinNC Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Yay! I was a little :confused: that Speed! didn't come with any instructions whatsoever, but I was able to find the nifty video explaining how to play, so it's all good. Played a couple hands with dd - fun! Started playing with the c-rods with all the kids. (Okay, the 2yo was dumping them out and putting them back into the tub...) I had 9yo and 6yo both make "stairs" and then did the "behind your back" trick that I saw here a few days ago - I was shocked how well and how quickly they caught on to this. I was having a terrible time remembering which rods I was holding behind my back or which was bigger or smaller, etc. Later, I showed ds different ways to make 10 - he caught on very quickly to this too. I was just thinking of 2-block combos (7+3, for ex), but he quickly showed me, "no, you can use a 3 and a 2 and a 5" (except he told me the colors not the numbers - I still can't remember the colors; I better practice!). I was impressed. Anyway - thanks for the recommendations, everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
my2boysteacher Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I missed the post you are referring to. What is Speed? Do you have a link? I'm always looking for more C-rod ideas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelissaMinNC Posted November 8, 2011 Author Share Posted November 8, 2011 Sorry, Speed is not related to the C-Rods. It's a card game to facilitate skip-counting/multiplication facts. I got it much more for my 10 yo who is slooooow with her multiplication facts. The C-Rods I got because I wanted to start using them with my 6yo mostly (but my 10 yo will benefit too, I think), before I get Miquon, which I have to wait for next month for. :) Anyway, here's Speed! :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halcyon Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 We love Speed here, but ours came with a small instruction booklet, inside the box. Maybe it's on the bottom? Anyway, it's easy to learn! We play it every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
