About these games
Our picks and what they practise
›
Times tables are the one bit of primary maths that simply has to be memorised, and the fastest way to do that is lots of short, low-stakes practice. Every game here lets you pick a single table (2s to 12s) or a mix, so a child can drill the one they are learning this week and revisit the ones they know. Rounds are ten questions or one bingo card — two or three minutes.
Start with Skip Counting for the 2s, 5s and 10s, then Times Tables Blaster shows what multiplication actually is — dot arrays that make 3 × 4 visible — before asking for the answer, and keeps the speed up once a child wants it.

Which tables can we practise?
Any single table from 2 to 12, or a mixed set, in every game on this page.
What age are times tables games for?
Usually seven to eleven. The 2s, 5s and 10s start around seven; most children are expected to know all of them by nine or ten.
How should we use them?
Little and often: one table for a week, five minutes a day, then mix it in with the ones already learned. Times Tables Blaster shows the dot arrays first if the idea of multiplying is still new.
Is there anything to buy?
No — no pop-ups, no sign-up. They work on tablets and computers.
