Homeschool Wednesday and a Maths Game Recommendation - Mobi!

Hi everyone! Janelle here again (the lucky homeschool Mum who gets to spend 11am-2pm each Wednesday at Brain Spice, chatting about all things education and homeschooling). 

Just letting you know that I’m in store again today between 11am-2pm and I’d love to chat with you about all things education, or answer any questions you may have about homeschooling. Feel free to come by and say hi!

Something I love about Brain Spice is that the store really encourages “Play is the brain's favourite way of learning”. So in that spirit, I thought I’d share an awesome little game we currently have in stock…

Mobi is a fun little tile game that also incorporates maths practice (great for homeschoolers, tutors, and classrooms!). Think Bananagrams, but with maths equations. 
To start, empty all tiles onto a flat playing surface. Separate the blue tiles from the white tiles. All the blue tiles are numbers. All the white tiles are operations.

Mix up all the blue tiles, take 7 number tiles each… say "GO!"… and you have a game on your hands!

It’s a race; when any player runs out of blue tiles, they yell "Flip!" and everyone has to grab 3 more tiles from the table - whether they’re ready or not!

Keep this up until the blue tiles run out.

Can't use one of your blue tiles? Just say "SWAP" and switch that blue tile for 2 new ones.

First player to connect all of their blue tiles shouts "Mobi" and is the winner!! It's as simple as that!

(That’s the official way to play, however I’m sure teachers, tutors, and homeschool parents will look at this tile set, and see a hundred other possible games and activities).

Mobi is $28, for 1-6 players aged 7+.

Available to purchase from our online store here.
