This game is played by two players. The object of the game is to be the player who finds the most combinations that make the sum of 10.

Materials

4 sets of Number Cards 0–10 from the Student Activity Book

Directions

  1. Each player draws five cards from the deck.
  2. The remaining cards are stacked in the center.
  3. Player 1 lays down any combinations equaling 10. He or she says the number sentence aloud for each combination.
  4. Player 1 may now ask Player 2 for a specific card needed to make another sum of 10.
  5. If Player 2 has that card, he or she must give it to Player 1, who can then lay down that combination.
  6. If Player 2 does not have the card, Player 1's turn is over. Player 1 then draws from the center deck until he or she has five cards again.
  7. Player 2 takes a turn and follows the same steps.
  8. The game is over when all the cards in the center are gone. The player with the most combinations of ten wins the game.
