Family card games

Family card games are great for taking on car journeys, on holiday or for at home. They are portable, compact, light and can be played by everyone. There are family card games that help children with literacy skills such as phonics, word building, spelling and grammar. They may be based on the format of family favourites e.g. ‘Happy Families’, ‘snap’, or ‘find a partner’. They can help focus on specific areas such as homonyms or collective nouns in English grammar. Family card games also cover areas of the Maths curriculum especially at Key Stage 1 & 2 with topics such as times tables, fractions, division, money and telling the time.

They can help children to learn about these subjects in a fun way, consolidating learning from the classroom. These family card games can also be used by teachers to provide small groups of children with educational topic-focused games to play for example in the Literacy Hour or use the card games as flashcards to incorporate into lessons. You can purchase educational card games from suppliers or manufacturers of educational toys and games. Many send catalogues to schools and to the public. Here you can buy family card games for many areas of the National Curriculum such as Maths, English, Science, Geography and History. There are also card games that can help those with special needs e.g. dyslexia or for learning English as a foreign language. They can also make good gifts for children at Christmas or for birthdays and they are good value for money too.
