When you turn over a card, you have find, or list things, that number of objects in that colour. Use Uno number cards in all colours, starting with just low numbers. You can include the draw two and draw four cards and if someone asks for one of those cards and the other player doesn’t have it, when they ‘go fish’ they have to pick up two or four cards from the pile! You can also add additional ‘Uno rules’ to this game too. Reduce the deck to two of each colour number and play basic go fish. This is a simple way to introduce the rules of Uno and makes it a bit more exciting for older kids. We add the rule that if you match a pair of skip cards it skips the next person’s turn, and if you match a pair of reverse cards it reverses the turns. To make memory a bit more challenging, add some new ‘uno rules’. Start with numbers 1-4 in all colours for an easy game, add more numbers and colours, and even the action cards. Use a small set of just number cards, two numbers of each colour for a short game, or play with the whole deck for a longer game. Turn over a card and put the right number and colour of counters on the card.Ī simple set of Uno cards is great for playing snap, especially for young players because the they are just matching colour and number, not colour, number and ‘suit’ like you would with regular playing cards. You’ll need Uno number cards in all colours, and counters (or Legos, or pieces of paper) in matching colours. This is a lovely simple activity for little ones who are beginning to learn counting. Eg red 1, yellow 2, red 2, red 1, yellow 2, red 2, what comes next? Start with the same number in different colours for young players, then try mixing the numbers and colours. Set out a simple pattern for your child to continue. The ability to recognise and create patterns is another important maths skill and Uno cards are great for playing with patterns.
A two and a three card could be 2+3=5 or 2×3=6 To make it even harder for older kids, turn over two cards and the first person to make a sum out of them and give the correct answer keeps the cards. To make it a little harder you can turn over two cards and the first person to say the number those two cards make up keeps both cards.
The winner is the person with the most cards at the end (counting the cards to work out the winner is another great number learning task!). Using just the number cards in all colours turn over one card and the first person to say the number of the card gets to keep it. This is a great way to work on number recognition. eg all the red ones, all the blue fives etc. You can do the same with naming and sorting numbers, and then combine both attributes and have your child sort into piles of colours and numbers. Then you can move on to sorting the cards into piles according to colour. There are also some more complicated games and activities for bigger kids, but the little ones can usually join in too with a little help.Ĭlassifying and sorting is an important skill for later mathematical thinking, and it’s also a great way to work on colour and number recognition.įor little ones who are just starting to learn the names of colours, turning over a card and naming the colour you see is a simple and fun beginners activity.
