Players use a deck of cards to add or mulitiply numbers! The deck of cards should be split in half and players will place a card from their deck on the table. The first person to add the two numbers will get a point. The first person to get to twenty points wins the game!
Number Heads
You will need three players and a deck of cards to play this game. Two of the players will take one card from the deck, without looking, and hold in on their forehead. The other players should be able to see it. The third player will either add or mulitply the two numbers. The players have to discover the number they are holding on their head using the sum or product! Have fun with this one!!!
