Multiplication Games
Educational games disguised as fun! ;)
Electronic Multiplication Games
There are many different types of multiplication games, but considering the popularity of computer games, and console games like X-box and Nintendo, electronic multiplication games are often more appealing - especially to young teens. Most of these have sound (which can be turned off), lights and sometimes even voices. They all have a scoring and level system which motivates children to achieve better and better results - effectively improving not only their multiplication skills, but their speed in mental calculation.
Electronic Multiplication Games
The FlashMaster
Electronic Multiplication Flash Card Game
FlashMaster: Handheld computer for mastering multiplication tables that makes flashcards obsolete

Combining learning with the fun and sense of challenge and achievement of a Nintendo DS type game, this portable electronic flash card device has a range of levels and can be played in a variety of ways. Its modes include playing against the clock, saving scores from the last 9 games, as you achieve new levels. It gives the child a similar sense of challenge, fun and achievement of "non-educational" games - and they won't even notice they're learning their times-tables!
LeapFrog Flash Magic Multiplication Game
Shout and "Flick" Digital Flash Card Style Game
LeapFrog Electronic Flash Magic Flash Cards - Multiplication & Division
Amazon Price: $29.99 (as of 05/29/2012)
This flashcard style game allows a player to "shout" out a guess before "flicking it" to reveal the correct answer! Solve as many equations as possible in 60 seconds! Quiz Time keeps score. Batteries included are for in-store demonstration, and should be replaced to improve performance. Requires 3 button cell AG13 (LR44) alkaline batteries.
Perfect for kids who find paper flash cards boring, Flash Magic is a fun multiplication game. Small enough to be carried in a pocket, it also has an option to have the sound on or off! - a big plus for parents ;) It keeps score, and, as one young reviewer put it: "I also think it is pretty cool that you can shake it to get the answer. Once I accidently flung it across the floor. It still works great."
Math Whiz Multiplication Game
Educational Insights Math Whiz

It's a competitive, stimulating game which, through fun and excitement, helps children to learn important multiplication skills, including multiples (skip counting), memorization of facts, identifying factors, finding factor pairs, and sequencing. The levels start off easy and increase in difficulty, and kids want to play again and again to improve their accuracy and time. This one makes a great Christmas gift.... and has a volume control, which is of course very important for parent sanity! ;) So, if you don't have headphones, you can still turn the volume down or off for quiet play.

If you answered incorrectly, the right answer flashes, and that question continues to appear, along with others you answered incorrectly, until you get it right. Scores are based on how long it took to answer all questions correctly. It also features encouraging "cheer-leading" - When a question is answered correctly, a comment: "You did it!" or "Way to go!" appears on the screen.

- There is so much more to choose from now. My students would have loved these. They are also good for adults to stay sharp. I've done research, and adults who do math exercises and crossword puzzles have less memory problems.
