Making houses out of playing cards
Equipment: a pack of playing cards
All you need for this game is a pack of cards and some space to make the houses
Start the kids off building a simple house with just 2 cards
Start to build up the house by adding more cards to the ends...
...then make it more complex by adding cards to the top and sides.
The kids could try houses in rows or adding a second level to the house - without knocking it over of course!
