Card games are great fun--and learning new games can magically enhance kids' skills! To play a game, children must master rules, develop mental strategies to compete successfully, understand the objectives, evaluate their own (and their opponents') strengths and weaknesses, learn routine procedures and probabilities, keep track of the goings-on, and make long-range plans. Plus, games force them to respond quickly and to deal socially with others. Try out activities that stress language skills and reading, number concepts, and divergent thinking.

By playing card games, children reinforce learned skills!,
This review is from: Card Games for Smart Kids (Mensa) (Paperback)
Margie Golick, Ph.D. has teamed with a publisher to bring us a quick read yet fine selection of playing card games which reinforce learned skills necessary for young children. The playing card games presented are the work of a "master pedagogue" that teach or reinforce number concepts, visual discrimination, auditory memory, and other critical learned skills.I can personally attest to the positive attributes of playing cards, learned skills, and my own children. My children acquired many of these learned skills by playing card games before the age of eight. Ken and Kathryn Grube continue to play cards today and often challenge their father in a game of cribbage. ALL teachers and parents of small children should have a copy of this work in their classroom or at home. It will not take long before the children tell you about their favorite card games and challenge the grandparents to their favorites! Karl W. Grube, Ph.D., Editor of Games By Grube
