Card Games For Kids
Here’s a collection of 15 fun games to play with a deck of cards! These are card games that kids can learn and families can play together.
One thing to keep in mind about card games is that many games are called by several different names. So you may get partway through the rules on any of these and realize that you know that game by another name. It’s just kind of how it goes with card games!
- Simple math card games can help kids learn how to put numbers in order. To play builder’s paradise, discard the face cards and lay out the 4 sevens in a deck side by side. In each round, players work to add the next higher or lower number in each suit, trying to be the first to get rid of all their cards.
- Card Games for Kids Cards decks are inexpensive and portable, making it possible for families to enjoy a game together anywhere. Kids can play in groups at school and some games are designed to play alone. Card games for kids provide hours of fun.
- This card game is great for older students, but can work for younger kids too. This game is best played in pairs, but could be done in larger groups if needed. In this game, students will first lay out the cards randomly, face down. (Face cards should be removed, or assigned a value). One student will randomly turn over 3 cards.
If we get stuck in traffic, I can whip out the cards so the kids can play a fun card game rather than whine incessantly about how bored they are. Even though my kids span ages 6 to 16 years, there are so many family card games that are easy enough for the young one to play and entertaining enough to keep my teens engaged.

We play a LOT of Golf (also called Army but no one knows why). It's fun, doesn't take a lot of concentration, and is fun to socialize while playing.

My son -in-law is color blind so, playing any game is hard. I taught our family over Thanksgiving James Bond. He loved it and was very competitive. It is a great game for people of all ages.
