Crazy 8s is a recreational math club like no other. Any school, public library or 501(c)3 can launch this program to bring kids together in person over math.
Unlike competitive clubs that appeal to a select few, our activities – like Glow-in-the-Dark Geometry and Beach Ball Party – can appeal to any kid. We’re making math club the cool thing to do!
We offer 24 weeks of activities for Grades K-2 and 3-5. Activities are packaged in three 8-week kits called Seasons 1, 2 and 3.
Our kits provide most of the materials needed to run a club, along with math-y take-home items for the kids. Coaches need to provide a few supplies like scrap paper and scissors. To make Crazy 8s the best it can be, our online Coaches’ Area includes step-by-step directions, how-to videos and other resources.
As part of our charitable mission, Bedtime Math heavily subsidizes the cost of the kit, valued at more than $400.
Crazy 8s kits are available for a contribution of $128 for the first kit of each 8-week Season. That’s just $1 per kid per week. Coaches who commit to multiple Seasons upfront get a bundled discount of $198 for both kits of Seasons 1 and 2, or $268 for Seasons 1, 2 and 3.
Additional kits are $108 each for sites hosting more than one club at a time.

All Crazy 8s partners must apply online, then do a brief phone call with one of our Crazy 8s Ambassadors to review our Honor Code:
- Clubs must meet on a weekly either before or after school ideally for 8 consecutive weeks. We’ll also allow clubs to meet twice weekly, or daily for a 1-week camp.
- Each club should include at least 12 kids, but no more than 16 kids.
- Kids must be grouped Grades K-2, Grades 1-3 or Grades 3-5. Clubs can serve a single grade or a pair of grades within those ranges, but they should not be expanded beyond them.
