Change the Rules Choose a simple card game such as UNO or Crazy 8’s and change

the rules! For UNO, you can make a rule that the oldest person gets

to draw twice, or if you get skipped on a turn, you can pass the skip card to someone else.

For Crazy 8’s, you can add another number to be wild! See below for detailed directions for

these games.

Play SNAP Get a deck of cards to play. Deal

cards. During turn, the player turns over the top card from their face-down pile. When

someone turns over a card that matches a card already face-up on another player's pile, players

race to be the first to call "Snap!" The player who calls

"Snap!" first wins both piles and adds them to the bottom of

their face-down pile.

Directions for UNO

At the beginning of the game, each player is dealt 7 cards. The remaining cards are put face down - this

is the deck. The top card from the deck is turned over, put next to and becomes the first card of the

"Discard" deck.

The game starts "clockwise". The first player is after the dealer (the dealer changes each round, usually clockwise). During their turn, the player has the right to lay one card on the "Discard" deck according to the following rules: same color or number card, or WILD card If the player does not have a card, they must draw and put down if able. Once you are down to 1 card, you MUST say UNO! Otherwise, you will need to draw cards. The game continues until one of the players discards all the cards.

Directions for Crazy 8’s

Use a standard deck of cards. All eights are wild and can be played on any card during a player's turn.

When a player discards an eight, he chooses which suit is now in play. The next player must play either a

card of that suit or another eight. The first player to discard all of his cards wins.

What’s your opinion – was the problem solved fairly?

Parents, you may be asking yourself, “What is this narrative language, anyways?” Narrative language skills help children tell stories. When we think about storytelling, we have several rules that we follow without even knowing it – we’re sequencing events, naming and describing characters and settings, and concluding our stories. We’re using lots of vocabulary and grammar! These skills are not only important to academics, but social language as well. For example, just think about the last time your were talking to one of your close friends or family members where you had to summarize something that happened to you … you painted a picture in sequential order with the people and places involved, and finally provided a conclusion to describe what happened. You may have elaborated more parts than others and you may have been very descriptive in your story. It’s important our students get the skills and practice they need to use their narrative language skills at school and when talking to their family or peers in various social situations.
