Atmosphehere and Geosphere CARDS GAME - DIY the Game!
Obtained from https://deceptivelyeducational.blogspot.com/2015/10/earths-layers-atmosphere-card-game-free.html
This is a set of 1-10 playing cards plus wild cards, for us to play like Skip-Bo Junior.
Download a free 11-page PDF of the playing cards from Google Drive here.
Print on heavyweight cardstock and cut out. Print two copies of the WILD cards (on page 5). NOTE: This is a pretty ink-heavy printable; I recommend taking the PDF to a copy shop so as not to use up all your home printer's ink.
