Slapjack
A fun game for kids!
Objective: Have the most cards at the end of the game!
Requirements: 2 players, 1 deck of cards, and a fast hand!
Play: Set the deck of cards facedown, and have the dealer turn up a card. If it is a Jack, the first one to slap it gets all cards beneath it. Otherwise, have the other player trn over a card. Players keep turning over cards, alternating flippers, until a jack is flipped. If a person slaps a card that isn't a jack, the opposing player gets all the cards. When all 4 jacks have been flipped, the winner is the player who has the most cards.
Notes: when you are flipping, you must use the other hand to slap.
Ex: If I turned over a card with my left hand, I have to slap it with my right.
