3. Some children are visual learners. Stick the multiplication chart where they can see them daily. It will also help them to memorise the times table.
4. Multiplication Times table songs on YouTube.
5.  Recite Times tables in different voice styles. For example robot voice, posh voice etc
6. Online Times games like Hit the button, would also give good practice to the children
7. Bang Bang! is a fun game that two children can play together. Let children sit back to back, and the parent, says a timetable. The first to turn around to the partner and say answer with a “Bang Bang” after wins!
