She has printouts of really fun but basic games that are a great replacement for worksheet drills. Although she is a kindergarten teacher, the games could easily still be used by first graders for sure, sometimes maybe second, depending on the skill you're going for.

 * Everyday Math - Math Their Way (from Katie Roche)**

The Wayzata school district seems to be a rock star Math district, and they use the E.D. Math curriculum. Multiple professors have demonstrated "games" from this curriculum. You've probably seen some, like the sum game (also the product game) or salute. I found a great website that has instructions and printables for many great games. I used them with all the kids in 1/2 D...they were "playing", but actually drilling math facts. They literally GROANED when Math was over ~ that was THE best feeling!! The website there was @http://faculty.gvsu.edu/goldenj/Gameshandout3.1.pdf

good resources for similar games/activities with instruction and rationales: @http://www.center.edu/pub/docs/chapter11.pdf and @http://instruction.aaps.k12.mi.us/EM_parent_hdbk/games.html.

Some quick good math game websites, if you have classroom computers to use:
