Card games to learn numbers

Each player now bids for the number of tricks he thinks he can win. The player to the left of the dealer starts. If not, play any other card, including trump. The highest card of the led suit wins the trick unless ruffed, when the highest trump wins. A player who wins the exact number of tricks bid scores 10 plus the number of tricks bid. Each player receives nine cards: three are dealt unseen face down, three are chosen to be placed face up and the remaining cards become their hand.

The first person to lay a 3, or the next lowest available card, begins. In turn, players lay cards of equal or higher value than the one at the top of the discard pile. Cards of the same value can be played together: four of a suit clears the discard pile, as does playing 10s. If unable to go, players must pick up the discard pile. Players draw from the stock to maintain at least a three-card hand. Once the stock is depleted, the player may play their face-up cards and, subsequently, turn over their face-down cards.

The first person to get rid of their cards wins. More importantly, the last person with cards is the loser. Beat the top card of the pack by having a higher ranking card of the same suit. Five cards dealt to each player face down four if more than eight play. Players put up one or any number of agreed chips to make the pool.

The dealer turns the top card of the pack. If the player can show a higher card in the same suit he wins back his bet and the pool. You can forfeit a hand by adding a chip to the pot and discarding your cards. When there are no chips in the pot, each player adds more and play continues.

Queen: follow with a card of any suit. King: reverses play order. He scores the total of cards remaining in all other hands: Eights score 50, aces 1, face cards 10, the index value for all others. Knockout whist The classic family favourite.

Play continues until no cards remain or only a few cards remain and players are unable to make a prime number with the cards that are left. Players take turns to draw two cards from the center pile. The player adds the two numbers together. If the total is an odd number the player keeps the cards. If the total is an even number, the cards are placed face down in a discard pile. When no cards remain in the original pile the discard pile is shuffled and placed in the center to become a new playing pile.

When this pile is used the game ends and the winner is the player who has collected the most cards. Multiplication Version — This game is played in the same way but the numbers on the cards are multiplied together instead of being added together.

Next, tell students that they must draw a monster with the same number of body parts as is written on the board.

Give students 10 minutes or so to draw their monster and then students can show their monster to the class. Another way to play this game is to give each student a dice. That way each student will have a very different monster. Then, when showing the monster to the class, the students can describe their monster using sentences and numbers e. It has five eyes. It has three mouths. This is a very active game to practice numbers that will get your students up out of their seats.
