Players 2-6 Time 5-15 minutes

Object Find pairs (1 point) or triples (3 points). Earn the most points from matches.

Setup For more than three players, use two decks. For each round, deal 6 cards to each player, face up. Omit wild cards.

Instructions In each round, players look at their cards to identify any matching cards based on values only, not suits.

♥�Each matching pair is worth 1 point.

♥��Each set of three matching cards is worth 3 points.

♥��Each set of four matching cards (rare) is worth 6 points.

Players mark down their scores for the round. Then they put all cards from that round into a discard pile.

Continue with more rounds. For two players, there are enough cards to play three rounds without needing to reshuffle the set of cards. After three rounds, the player with the most points wins.

The score for a pair is 1 point.

PAIRS CHALLENGEThis game is similar to Crazy 8s or UNO®.

Players 2-4

Time 15-30 minutes

Object Be the first to run out of cards.

Setup Shuffle the cards including all four wild cards. Deal seven cards to each player. (Use two identical sets if more than two students are playing.) Turn up one card for the Discard pile. Place the rest in a Draw pile, face down.

Instructions Each player, in turn, chooses a card from his or her hand to match the top card on the Discard pile. The player must match the suit, the value, or play a wild card. When a card is played, the player should state the value or describe the model to give other players a chance to make sure the cards match. If a player has no card to play, he or she must draw two cards from the Draw pile and the turn ends. When a player plays a wild card, the player must name a suit for the next player to match. Play goes on until a player runs out of cards. That player wins.

Players 2-4 Time: 15-30 minutes

Object Match the most pairs of cards.

Setup Setup Place the shuffled set of cards face down in an array of six rows of six or nine rows of four. (Omit the wild cards.)

Concentration

Instructions Each player, in turn, turns up two cards, states the value of each card, and decides if the cards match. If the cards match, the player picks up and saves the two cards and the turn ends. If they do not match, the player turns the cards back over. The next player then takes a turn. Two cards of the same suit do NOT count as a match. Play goes on until all cards are picked up. The player with the most pairs wins.

Players who turn up two cards that match can remove them from the array. This example has three matching cards but

only two should be removed. The third card will match another card lower down in a pile.

Instructions The player looks at the nine piles. If two cards match, the player picks up those cards and stacks them to the side. This will reveal two new cards. Now, the player looks again for a matching pair and picks them up. The player continues looking for matching pairs and picking them up. When there are no visible matching pairs, the game is over. But, if the player continues until all stacks have been cleared, the player wins!

Players 1 (with help from an aide or advanced student)

Time 10-20 minutes

Object Pick up two matching cards at a time. Try to remove all cards without getting stuck.

Setup Shuffle the cards and deal 9 piles of cards, face up, 4 per pile. (Omit wild cards.)
