how to play

This flashcard game idea can be adapted to any language concept (in this case, to our Expressions of Quantity topic). The instructions below are just a starting point to inspire you.


  • All of the cards are dealt out to the players. Players keep their cards in a pile face down in front of them. Before starting the game decide what the total for the game is to be, for example 20.
  • Players take it in turns to turn over a card and place it in the centre.
  • Cards in the centre are placed on top of each other.
  • When the two top cards add to the total for the game, players can Snap (slap their hand onto the top card) and call out the total.
  • The first player to do so wins the pile and adds it the bottom of his / her pile.
  • A player is out of the game if they run out of cards.
  • Last player to have cards left is the winner.
