A dusk depot, brass-tagged crates, and a ticket that names a place. Four parcels sit on the bench. Tap the number that has the given ones, tens, or hundreds. A hit stamps the order. A miss costs a wax seal. Built for second-grade place value through the hundreds place.
Read the Ticket
The slip says which place to check. Tens are the middle digit of a three-digit number. In 385, the tens digit is 8.
Tap That Parcel
Four crates sit on the bench. Tap the number that matches the ticket. One tap is enough.
Watch the Stamp
A correct tap stamps the order. A miss flashes and costs a wax seal. The ticket then names a new place.
Fill Eight Orders
Eight stamps win the run. Three spent seals end it. Stay on Easy for tens and ones only.
Read the Ticket
Each order names a place and a digit. Example: find the number that has 8 tens.
Four Parcels
One crate is right. The others often show the same digit in the wrong place, so 820 is not 8 tens.
Ones, Then Hundreds
Easy stays with two-digit numbers. Medium uses three-digit numbers. Hard mixes expanded form and a zero in a place.
Three Seals
Three misses end the run. Eight stamped orders win. Best scores save per difficulty.
Parcel Place is a second-grade place-value game. A dusk depot holds four numbered crates and a ticket. The ticket names a digit in the ones, tens, or hundreds place. The player taps the crate that matches. Decoys often put that digit in a different place. The goal is to stamp eight orders before three seals are spent.
Place, Not Face
Seeing 8 in 820 next to 8 in 385 trains students to read the tens column, not hunt any 8.
Instant Check
The crate flashes as soon as it is tapped. There is no extra Done step.
Touch First
Parcels are large. Play sits under the depot, not on the crates.
Grows With the Place
Easy is two-digit. Medium adds hundreds. Hard asks for expanded form.
The digit in the tens place is 8. In 385 that is true. In 820 the tens digit is 2, even though the number starts with 8.
It is the left digit of a three-digit number. In 408 the hundreds digit is 4.
Check only the place on the ticket. The other digits can match and still be wrong.
The size of the numbers and the clue type. Hard can ask for hundreds + tens + ones written out.
First through third grade (about ages 6–9). Stay on Easy for two-digit tens and ones.
