Guess My Number: Dinner time is the perfect time to play a simple number game such as Guess My Number. To play, choose a number within a set (based on age) range such as 1 -20 or 1-100. This number remains secret until someone guesses it. To start have one participant at a time take turns narrowing the range until one is able to guess the number. Questions might include: Is it greater than fifty? Is it an even number? Is it less than eighty? Is it more than twenty? The range of numbers should narrow each time until someone guesses the actual number.

Number Riddles: To play, choose a number. This number will be kept a secret. I usually ask the child to write it down but turn it over. This way, if the child forgets he/she can have a quick look. Next, this player provides one clue at a time for other players until the number is guessed. Clues start out broad and then narrow in on the number. For example: 1. My number is two digits. 2. My number is greater than forty. 3. My number is less than sixty. 4. One of the digits of my number is an even number. 5. One of the digits of my number is two less than nine.
