Partners in Parenting

Partners in Parenting!
This week’s Partners in Parenting is to simply learn to play the card game “Sevens” as a family.  You simply need a deck of cards and your whole family.  Anyone who can count is eligible to play.  Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.  In the rules, it says to place the 6 under the 7, but that really isn’t true.  Here is a picture of what it looks like.  I’m only using the diamonds to demonstrate.  You will actually have all four suits going once you play.  The link to the rules is below!
The cool part about this game is that a 5-year old can play with a 76-year old and have a great time together.  Spring Break is coming, and this could be fun for the down-time you have. 
For older players, the winner gets 0 points, but all the losers have to add up all the points from their hand to add to their score.  Player with the lowest score wins.  Here’s how to score each card:
Ace = 20 pts
Face cards and 10s = 10 pts
All other cards are their value (2=2, 3=3, 4=4, etc.)  Just add them up!




Please let me know if your family played the game!  I hope you like the game, BUT I really hope you like the family time.
