Playing Card Addition Race Rules
Get a deck of cards.
Next take out the face cards and aces.
Split the remainder of the cards into two piles.
Find a partner.
Give your partner one half of the cards, you keep the other half.
Next each of you quickly needs to place down one card so the number can be seen by
both of you.
Now, your job is to add the numbers on the cards together. The first person to shout
out the correct answer gets to keep those cards and wins that round. Place these cards

you have won. The person with the most cards wins!
