This game is traditionally played as solitaire, but can easily be modified for two players.
It allows younger kids to be able to practice their math facts to 10.
Deal the cards into three rows of five face up, the rest are in a pile face down to the side.
If you can add two cards that equal the sum of 10, you collect the cards. (for example 6 and 4, 8 and 2)
The aces have a value of 1.
New cards are dealt into the holes that were left from the cards that were picked up.
Face cards (K,Q, J, 10) can only be picked up if you have a matching pair.
If you are playing the solitaire version, you win if you can pick up all the cards in the entire deck without getting stuck!
If you are playing with two players, and there are no more moves to be made, the player with the most cards at that time is the winner.
Pige Dans Le Lac Pour Faire 10 (Making 10 Go Fish)
WHAT YOU WILL NEED:
One deck of cards. Remove all the face cards and the number 10 cards. You will be left with four cards each of numbers 1-9.
HOW TO PLAY TENS GO FISH
Deal each player five cards. Place the stack of remaining cards face down in the middle of the table. This is the “Go Fish” pile.
Before beginning game play, look for pairs of cards in your hand with a sum of 10. Place all pairs with a sum of 10 face up on the table in front of you. Draw from the Go Fish pile to replace the cards so you still have five cards in your hand. For example if you have a hand with 2-2-3-8-7, place 2-8 and 3-7 on the table and draw four more cards.
To begin, as in traditional Go Fish, players take turns asking each other for their desired card. However, instead of seeking out pairs of the same card, players want pairs to make the sum of 10. For example, if I hold a 5, 3, 2, 4, 9, I might ask for a 5 so I can “make 10.” If you had a 7, you would ask for a 3 to "make 10" etc.
If a player gets the card he asked for, he puts the pair down on the table and picks a new card from the deck. If he does not get the card he asked for, the player must “Go Fish” and pick a new card from the deck. If the new card from the deck makes 10 with a card in the player’s hand, he or she puts the pair of cards down, and gets another turn. If he still does not get the card he wanted, play passes to the next player.
If a player runs out of cards, he picks two new cards. A player’s turn is over when he can no longer make 10.
The game is over when there are no more cards, or no more pairs can be made.
VARIATIONS
Once you and the kids have gotten the hang of how to play Tens Go Fish, you will enjoy changing things up a bit to keep the game interesting.
Add in four face cards, such as the four kings. Designate these four face cards as “wild cards,” which when drawn can be any value the holder of the card decides to give it.
You can also add back in the number 10 cards. Players can place a single 10 card down instead of a pair.
For extra math practice, have players write down the equations of each pair combinations they make.
