Kids Love to Learn Times Tables with Fun and Engaging Table Fables
Are your kids struggling to learn times tables? Well, they're not alone. We all know how important it is to know the times tables. But it can be so tedious and boring. Enter Table Fables!
I received a free subscription to Table Fables but I am not required to give a positive review. As always, I am sharing my honest opinion with you. Please read my full blog disclosure. You will receive 15% discount when you use the code Littlehome at checkout.
I made an attempt to try and engage the kids to learn times tables. I designed and printed out sheets for them to use. It was my hope that they would remember the times tables by repeating them lots of times and learning them by heart...much like I did at school.
It did not go well! The boys were totally resistant to it. And I don't really blame them because it was super boring and difficult. And I was also bored to tears trying to get them to learn.
Learn Times Tables and Have Fun
I had almost given up on the whole affair, when Becky from Table Fables, contacted me on Instagram. She asked me to have a look at her site and immediately I could see that it was on another level. I showed the boys and they were super interested and keen to give it a go.
We had an introductory session with Becky and the boys, who are ADHD, were engaged for more that 30 minutes. And they were so excited to watch the videos and then get all the answers right. My husband and I were delighted and amazed!
How Does Table Fables Work?
Table Fables teaches kids their times tables through short little videos that are funny and therefore memorable. Firstly, kids get to know each character that is used throughout the site. They have unique accents, characteristics and habits, which makes them easy to remember.
After that, kids work through three levels per day, which takes about 5 to 8 minutes in total. The first level has a video with an entertaining little story. The number characters interact with each other, resulting in the answer to the equation. Then levels two and three reinforce and practise what they've learnt. Easy as that!
