♣️ Easy card games that sneak in learning


Hands On As We Grow®
Hi Reader!

I’ve been really into card games lately, and it got me thinking about all the fun things you can do with just a deck of cards.

When I was younger, I used to play games like Nerts (also known as Peanuts), Crazy Rummy, War, Golf, and Go Fish!

But did you know there are many more ways to play with cards?

You can easily carry a deck in your purse or bag, so whenever you’re out and about and need something to keep you occupied, other than staring at a screen, you’re all set!

Here are some cool activities you can try with a deck of cards:

If you want even more ideas, we have a whole section on card activities in our CAPSULE ebook. You can check it out here!

Playing with cards is not just fun, it’s also a great way to learn math concepts.

You can practice numbers, counting, color sorting, and even do addition, subtraction, and multiplication problems with them.

It’s a sneaky way to learn while having a blast!

So, always keep a deck of cards handy.

You never know when they’ll come in handy for some exciting learning and fun!

Scavenger Hunts & Weekly Activity Plan
