Parents, feel free to take pictures of your child doing the activities or their completed work and email to their teacher!

Math Games
Math game day is a classroom favorite - Maybe it will become one of yours at home learning favorites too!
Old Maid (Donkey)
Players: 3 or more
How to Play
Use a standard pack of cards with the Queen of Clubs removed, or buy a special set of Donkey or Old Maid cards. These are all the same game, just with different themes. Another option is to play with cards designed for Snap or Memory. Just remove one card from play so there is one card without a pair.
-
Deal out all the cards one by one to each player.
-
Players keep their hands secret but match up any pairs in their hand and place them facedown on the table. With a standard pack of cards, pairs are cards which are the same value and the same colour.
-
The first player offers their cards to the next player on their left by spreading them out in a fan. The player chooses a card. If it matches a card in their hand, they place the pair on the table.
-
The next player to the left takes a turn, and so on.
-
Once a player has no cards left in their hand, they are out of the game. Play keeps going until one player is left with the single Queen of Spades or Old Maid or Donkey card. This player is the loser.
