Learning to play HEARTS
It is very fun to learn card games with all the strategy, conversation, and good sports attitude that can be applied to them. This morning, the kids were taught this game. They know the basic rule not to collect Heart Tricks so you don't get points. They are learning to shuffle and one student asked," Do I hold the cards like I am holding my gamer controls?"
The volume was soooo loud to today because they were completely enraptured with the play. There are some great links online: Hoyle's Card Games
You can find Hoyle's in bookstores too.
It's a great way to start off the weekend with a family game of cards.
