How many? Card Game

ACTIVITY

• Students are put in groups, each with a pack of cards. Demonstrate the game with the HRT and a pack of giant cards first.
• One student puts down a card and says the number. The next student puts down a card and says the total of the two cards (first card is a 7, second card is a 3, so the student must say 10).
• Continue around the group until the group reaches 21 and the student who goes over 21 must pick up all the cards.
• Face cards can be removed or counted as wildcards so that the student who puts a face card down must pick up all the cards.
• Make sure the students are saying all the numbers in English when they have a turn, when explaining the rules you can tell them they will have to pick up all the cards if you hear someone saying the Japanese numbers.
