Hard to believe the year is almost 1/3 over! Just last month is was only 25% of the way through. Now, ask your elementary school student which of those values is greater. Will they know? They will if you play Fractions/Percent War with them!
Fractions/Percent War is a simple card game of war using cards that have various fractions and percentage values on them. You can make a deck yourself using some index cards or you can buy a sturdy, laminated deck from RightStart Math. The great thing about this deck is that you can use the cards for many other games (check out the RightStart Math Games book for tons of great math games).
Here's a quick popcorn-eating-filled video of my 10-year old son, Westin, & I playing a "friendly" game of Fractions/Percentage War (which I won, by the way;):
