Skills Covered in this Kindergarten Card Game:
This game is a fun way to practice counting and sequencing. It will also help kids practice sorting and differentiating between color and suit.
Setting up the Game:
To get started, grab a single deck of cards and remove the face cards.
Once shuffled, deal all the remaining cards among the players.
How to Play Builder’s Paradise:
The object of the game is to be the first player to get rid of all of their cards.
To begin, players take turns putting down one or more cards above or below a seven, in sequence, according to their suit.
For instance, in the first round players will play six’s and eight’s.
If a player cannot play anything, they pass that turn. If no one that round can play a card, the game is over and the player with the fewest cards wins.
This is so simple, and will not take much time to set up and play, but is a great way to help kids work on important math concepts without even realizing it.
Want a fun variation? Try building the cards out both vertically and horizontally.
