Pairs That Make Ten
An ordinary deck with the picture cards taken out becomes a memory game where only pairs adding up to ten may be kept. Counting and remembering have to happen at the same time.
What you need
- A deck of playing cards
- A table or a clear patch of floor
How to play
- Take the picture cards out of the deck and count the ace as one.
- Lay twenty cards out in a grid with the patterned backs showing.
- Turn two cards over on your turn and say the sum out loud.
- Keep the pair if it makes exactly ten, otherwise turn both cards back.
- Take one extra turn every time you keep a pair.
- Count your collected cards when the grid is empty.
