Card
Pickup
Snap: Shuffle a deck of cards and deal them out evenly face down to all playing. Next, pick someone to go first who will take the card on the top of their pile and place it in the middle face up. The following person does the same, and so on. When a card value matches, e.g. a king and a king, the first player to say snap wins the middle pile. Once one player has all
the cards, they win. Chase the Ace: You’ll want to get as big a group as possible to play this one, 3 or more are recommended. Remove all the jokers and 3 of the aces out of the deck and leave them to one side. Next, deal out all the cards evenly between all players. Once everyone has their cards, each player needs to take out all the pairs in their hand and lay them out in front of them. The game begins with the person to the dealer’s left, taking a card from the person to their right. If the card can make a pair, that can be placed in front of them.
The game continues until you run out of cards, the first person to do this wins. The loser is the person left with the ace at the end of the game. Pig Firstly, take out enough denominations for each player in the game. So, for 4 players take out all the A K Q J. Next, shuffle these together and deal them out evenly between the players. Now all players look at their hand, on “go” pass one card to the left and pick up the card given from the right. This should happen simultaneously, and
speed is the key. Once a player has 4 of a kind, they stop passing and picking up cards and place a finger on their nose. Other players must stop and place a finger on their nose when they see anyone doing so, no matter what cards they have in their own hand. The last person to do so is the pig. 52 card pickup A fun one for leaders! Find a group of willing players. Take a deck of cards and explain that this is a game of pure skill, then throw the cards up in the air and get the players to pick up all the cards.
