SET

One of the most popular maths card games is SET - a highly addictive, original game of visual perception; a fascinating challenge for either solitaire or competitive play. Players are challenged to identify a set of three cards that fulfill three or more of the four variables - colour, number, shape and fill. As an early morning starter activity the SET daily puzzle is a great activity to show through the classroom projector. Simply check the boxes under the cards that make a set.

QWIRKLE!

The lovely Elsa at Crackerjack Toys has just lent me QWIRKLE. How generous. This seems to have similarities to the card game SET, dominoes, even scrabble! I'll be interested to get the feedback from the children.
