Making 10s

Card Game

Directions:

You need two players.

Player one chooses two cards that DO NOT
equal 10. He/She does not show these cards to
the other player.

Player two begins placing cards face up one at
a time on a table.

When two cards on the table make 10, he/she
covers those cards with two other cards that
are face up also. He/She can only cover two
cards that make ten, not three. For example:
8,2. 9,1. 6,4. NOT 7, 2, 1.

The second player continues to cover cards
that make ten until he/she runs out of cards.

Then, he/she begins picking up stacks of cards
that make 10. For example, he/she will pick up
a stack with a 4 and a stack with a 6. Then,
the child will pick up a stack with a 7 and a
stack with a 3. Eventually, only two cards will
be left.

The second player is holding two cards. There
should be two stacks left. If the cards left are
a 7 and a 1, the second player should be
holding a 3 and a 9. Basically, the cards will
make 10.

The first player guesses the second players
cards. What a fun way to build number sense!
