In case you haven't heard, we were introduced to a fast-paced card game, Junk It! It helps us recognize numerals and order them to 10.
Junk It is a 2-player game. Remove face cards, but keep Aces.
Put 10 cards in two rows of 5 face down in front of each player. Place the remaining cards in the centre.
The first player flips a card over, and places it in its numerical spot.
He picked up a 3 ... 
... so he'll put it down where the 3 goes.
When he placed his card in the 3 spot, he picked up a 4 (formerly face down in the 3rd place). Off the 4 goes to spot 4!
Notice how when he put his 4 down, he picked up the card in that spot? It's another 3! He already has a 3, so he gets to call JUNK IT and discard it in the middle.
His opponent can either pick up the card that was just discarded, or select a new card from the pile. She chose to pick up from the pile.
The first player to get all 10 cards flipped over in order wins! Isn't learning more fun when it's a game?
It is a little confusing to explain on our blog, but the kids are definitely the experts! Will you challenge your child to a game of Junk It?!?
