Card Games — 18 Comments

  1. Some of my favorite memories are playing cards with my grandmother. So I knew when I became a grandmother, games was going to be a big part of my relationship with my grandchildren. There are so many benefits to games. Cognitive skills, social skills, and a much better time killer than a video game!

  2. Melissa, I loved playing card games growing up. With minimal money and not too many choices of indoor games, cards provided endless variety. The big family down the block (five siblings) always seemed to be learning a new one. They would teach me and I jumped in. So much laughter and fun. Thanks for reminding me.

  3. Many of my favorite childhood memories include playing card games with my family and friends. We played all sorts of card games such as concentration, old maid, crazy eights, go fish. Every one of these games encourages concentration, memory, learning to be a good sport about both winning and losing and how to cooperate, and so many other skills. And like you write about – we were unaware of all the underlying essential things we were learning! Teaching kids through play and games is a wonderful strategy!

  4. As we got a bit older, my husband’s grandmother played cards with us all the time. We had great fun and wonderful conversations. So many wonderful memories from playing cards. Her favorite was skipbo and now we play it with our kids.
