Games to Play (Deck of Cards needed)

1. Addition or Subtraction Compare – Pass out all the cards to players. Each player flips over two cards. Add or subtract the two

numbers showing. Players compare their values and the person with the higher value wins all four cards.

2. Close to 100 –Deal 6 cards to each player. Use any 4 of your cards to make two 2-digit numbers (Aces = 1; Jacks, Queens, & Kings

= WILD cards, stand for any digit 0-9). Try to make a combination that when added is close to or exactly 100. Write these two

numbers in your journal. Example: Your turn over

You combine 48 and 53 to make 101. Your score is 1 since the difference between 101 and 100 is 1. You make a recording sheet in

your journal like this,

Round 1: 48 + 53 = 101 Score 1

Put the cards you used in the discard pile. Keep the other two for the next round. Pick up four more cards and play 5 rounds.

Add the score to each round. The lowest score after 5 rounds wins.
