Garbage!
Duration: 4:37

Instructions (select arrow)

Shuffle the cards and place the pile face down in the middle of both players.
Each player draws 10 cards each. Players organise their 10 cards in a row in front of them, face down.
Player 1 draws a card from the middle pile.
- Player 1 places this card in the matching position in their row of 10.
- Player 1 then picks up the card in its place. For example, if a 4 is drawn, player 1 places the card in the fourth position and picks up the card in that position.
- Player 1 looks at the card and decides whether it can also be placed in their row.
- Player 1's turn is over when they can no longer place a card in their row. This card is thrown away as 'garbage'!
Player 2 draws a card to begin their turn and follows the same steps as player 1.
The first player to complete their entire row of cards is the winner!

Explain how you knew where to put each number card.
Hint! Use words such as before, after, more and less.
What numbers were you hoping to turn over?
What numbers did you not want to turn over? Why?

Challenge!

Play again but change the game slightly. Some example changes:

Use a picture card that a player can use to represent any number.
Players can take unwanted cards from the 'garbage' pile if they need it (as part of their turn).
A king can be used to turn back over another player's card.
