What I am doing at home? I have about over 35 plants in my place that including my garden pots (tomatoes, cucumbers, banana peppers, parsley, lemon, and spinach). I love plants because I enjoy looking at the plants and they make me happy! While I am on my break, I typically check on my plants to see if they need more water or sun.
Here’s the picture of me with my plants!
Standard 52 card deck
Each player is dealt 6 cards face down from the deck. The remainder of the cards are placed face down, and the top card is turned up to start the discard pile beside it. Players arrange their 6 cards in 2 rows of 3 in front of them and turn 2 of these cards face up. The remaining cards stay face down and cannot be looked at.
The object is for players to have the lowest value of the cards in front of them by either swapping them for lesser value cards or by pairing them up with cards of equal rank.
Beginning with the player to the dealer’s left, players take turns drawing single cards from either the stock or discard piles. The drawn card may either be swapped for one of that player’s 6 cards, or discarded. If the card is swapped for one of the face down cards, the card swapped in remains face up. The round ends when all of a player’s cards are face-up.
A game is nine “holes” (deals), and the player with the lowest total score is the winner.
Each ace counts 1 point.
Each 2 counts minus 2 points.
Each numeral card from 3 to 10 scores face value.
Each jack or queen scores 10 points.
Each king scores zero points.
A pair of equal cards in the same column scores zero points for the column (even if the equal cards are 2s).
So easy to make and such a great basis for learning games! Simply use chalk to draw a number line on your driveway or sidewalk (1 – 20) and we walk, jump, sidestep, etc along while reverse, counting down from 20? Can they skip count along the number line? So many ways to exercise those motor skills and practice counting!
ACTIVITY IDEAS FOR STUDENTS DURING COVID-19
Online learning
YouTube channels
Opt outside
Students can still benefit from nature while practicing proper social distancing. Even babies and toddlers can join a family nature walk. if you’re in a public space, keep them in a carrier or a stroller. If you’re in your backyard, they can explore more freely. Playing outside promotes more curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking. Especially essential with schools closed and extra-curricular activities canceled.
Awesome ways to make math fun!
