In the hectic world of today, the parents are ever busy, and the children are ever curious. How then do we make learning fun, fast, and simple for all? The answer is simple – abacus games! They help your youngster become a counting whiz while having a great time, and they don’t take long.

The abacus is not just a maths tool. It’s a game board, a learning toy, and a brain booster – all in one. Kids love moving the beads, and with just 20 minutes a day, they can become super fast at maths.

Here are some easy and exciting abacus games that you can play with your child, even if you are a busy parent.

1. Bead Race

This is a super fun game. Take the abacus and say a number like 5 or 8. Your child has to move the right number of beads as fast as possible. You can take turns and see who’s quicker. It’s like a race – but with numbers!

What it helps: Quick counting and hand-eye coordination.

2. Guess the Number

Move some beads on the abacus without showing it to your child. Then ask them to guess how many beads you moved. This makes their brain think fast and also helps improve their number sense.

What it helps: Number recognition and memory.

3. Math Story Time

Tell a simple story using numbers. For example: “There were 3 apples. I ate 1. How many are left?” Let your child show you how to use the abacus solution. Make the story lighthearted and enjoyable.  Children adore them!

 What it helps with: Imaginative addition and subtraction.

 4. The Counting Whiz Task

 Set a one-minute timer. Ask your child to do as many sums as they can using the abacus. Write down the numbers or say them aloud.  Count the number of correct answers at the end.

What it helps: Speed, focus, and accuracy – the skills of a real Counting Whiz!

5. Bead Bingo

Put numbers, such as 1 through 20, on a chart. Say a number, and your child has to show it on the abacus and cross it on the chart. The goal is to cross all numbers in the least time.

What it helps: Number matching and fast thinking.
