Title | Being Forgetful |
Text | There are many popular children's card games, and some of them require a good memory. "Concentration" is a popular children's card game with many "pairs" (groups of two) cards that have an image on one side. The cards are placed "face down" (with the image hidden) in a "grid" (with straight rows and columns). The children take turns "flipping" (turning) over two cards at a time, looking for a "match" (two cards with the same image). The player with the most matching pairs at the end of the game is the winner. "Crazy Eights" is another popular game, but it is played with a "standard" (normal) "deck of cards" (set of 52 playing cards). Each child begins with eight cards. One card is flipped over so everyone can see it, and the children take turns laying down a card that has either the same number or the same "suit" (hearts, diamonds, spades, or clubs). The child can also play an eight and announce which new suit is now "in play" (being played). If a child doesn't have an appropriate card to lay down, he or she must "draw cards" (adding cards to one's hand from the pile) until he or she can. The winner is the child who "runs out of cards" (has no cards left in his or her hand) first. In "Go Fish," the cards are "divided evenly," so that each player has the same number of cards. Any matching pairs (for example, two red threes) are put down on the table. The players take turns asking each other, "Do you have any twos?" or "Do you have any kings?" If the answer is no, the player says "Go fish," and the asker has to draw a card. If the answer is yes, the player must give away those cards that match the request. Any matching pairs are put down on the table. The child who runs out of cards first is the winner. |
