My Ship Sails
Shuffle the cards and deal seven cards to each player.
Pick up the cards and organise them by suit.
Choose a suit to collect (you can change your mind any time).
Take a card you don’t want and pass it face down to the player on your left.
Pick up the card passed to you by the player on your right.
Keep going and try to get a hand of all the same suit.
The first to collect seven cards of the same suit shouts ‘My Ship Sails!’ and wins the game.
20 Questions
Choose a card. Don’t let the other players see!
Tell the other players if your card is animal, vegetable, or mineral.
The other players take turns at asking you twenty yes or no questions.
Let the players guess what or who you are.
Whoever guesses first wins and gets to choose the next mystery card.
Tell a Story
Put the pack of cards face down in the middle.
The first player turns over the top card and makes up a sentence using the word on the card.
The next player turns over a card and continues the story using the word on the card.
Keep going as long as you can.
