Subtraction Kindergarten Games
My own little kindergartner kept sneaking into my office, this past week, to pull out some of his favorite subtraction activities from the set. I’d find him on the living room rug working on his math just for fun. I hope your students enjoy these just as much and are able to get some fantastic support for learning to subtract.
Whack-a-Ball Subtraction Game
This is our FAVORITE SUBTRACTION GAME EVER!! The kids absolutely love it, and you can make it with a simple shoe box, some ping pong balls, and printable subtraction cards. We used a toy hammer, but you can also just use a hand to press in the balls that you are taking away.
Subtraction Bowling Game
It’s hard to get kids to STOP playing this awesome subtraction game. Start with 10, and then take away however many toilet paper rolls you knock down. Start from difference for the next roll, and then get one final chance to knock all of the “bowling pins” down. Of course, you can record the subtraction sentences as you go.

Knock it Over Domino Subtraction
One of the best things about dominoes is setting them up and knocking them down. This subtraction activity turns the fun of that into hands-on, visual math.
Read the problem on the card to set up the correct number of dominoes. Then knock them down to take them away. Whatever is left standing is the difference.
Gumball Subtraction Activity
Gumball machines are always fun, and you can use this one in a couple of ways. We used little circle markers for our gumballs, but playdough or buttons would work just as well.
Either way, the kids can make the gumballs slide down and out of the gumball machine as they take them away from the minuend.
