Parcel Place

How to Play Parcel Place

1. 1

   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.

2. 2

   Tap That Parcel

   Four crates sit on the bench. Tap the number that matches the ticket. One tap is enough.

3. 3

   Watch the Stamp

   A correct tap stamps the order. A miss flashes and costs a wax seal. The ticket then names a new place.

4. 4

   Fill Eight Orders

   Eight stamps win the run. Three spent seals end it. Stay on Easy for tens and ones only.

Key Features

• 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.

What is Parcel Place?

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.

Why Play Parcel Place?

• 1

  Place, Not Face

  Seeing 8 in 820 next to 8 in 385 trains students to read the tens column, not hunt any 8.

• 2

  Instant Check

  The crate flashes as soon as it is tapped. There is no extra Done step.

• 3

  Touch First

  Parcels are large. Play sits under the depot, not on the crates.

• 4

  Grows With the Place

  Easy is two-digit. Medium adds hundreds. Hard asks for expanded form.
