ABSTRACT
Card games are excellent for helping with number skills and memory, or are simply a way to encourage a group to communicate and work together when they can’t be outside. A deck of cards has easily as much developmental potential for group work as outdoor and higher risk, more adventurous activities; physical ability is irrelevant when playing card games, so groups with a wide range of abilities can work together. Card games refine mental skills like logic, observation and memory, as well as encouraging players to communicate, strategise and make decisions.
