This card game for kids can be a lot of fun but also very frustrating: just
when you are about to win, you can find yourself right back at square one!
Number of Players:
4 - 6
Age Range:
6+
Cards:
If six players: One standard deck with the twos removed
If five players: Twos, threes and fours removed
If four players: Two, threes, fours, fives and sixes removed.
Aces are high
Instructions:
The players cut the deck and the highest card deals all the cards around the
group clockwise, until each player has eight cards.
The players sort their cards by suit and then the player to the left of the
dealer plays one card face-up. The next player then has to play a card which is
of the same suit. Play continues until a player cannot place a card, at which
point they have to pick up all the face-up cards and add them to their hand.
They then start the next round with one of their cards of a different suit.
The winner is the player who runs out of cards first.

Make A Name Book
More of a craft activity than a game, this is a great way for kids to get to
know each other at the beginning of the school year.

(Concentration), Go Fish and many other card games, as well as played with
our sorting mats by one child on their own. Printable Games
