2022 Summer Game #11: Card Exchange

August 9, 2022 by Teresa Foltin

If you have ever played the card game Pit, you will know the boisterous fun in store when playing this next game, Card Exchange, game P27 in the Math Card Games book. If you have not had the pleasure, just picture the comedic chaos of the Stock Exchange and you will have an idea of what’s to come.

This a fun party game, as 3 to 10 players can play. You need one set of multiplication cards for each player. For example, our group of four used the 2s, 3s, 5s and 7s. Shuffle the cards together and deal all the cards evenly to each player.

Each person takes a look at their cards and decides what set to collect based on which multiples they have the most of. It’s helpful to organize the cards you are willing to trade by multiples sets. You can exchange 1 to 4 cards from the same set. Here is Peter’s hand with the 5s highlighted.

When everyone is ready, the dealer says, “Exchange begins.” At that, we all begin shouting out the number of cards we want to trade. The quantity of cards is stated, not the multiple’s set number. When we find someone who is calling out the same quantity of cards, we exchange cards face down. Then quickly look at what you received, sort out the sets, and shout out the next quantity of cards you want to trade, trying to get all ten cards of your set.

Here, Ian and Peter are trading two cards each while Chiara is calling for one and I want to trade three.

As you can well imagine, the hilarity and chaos is at a maximum level because no one knows who’s collecting what! When two of you are trying to collect the same set, someone’s going to have to change their mind….

Sometimes, a mistake might be made and the cards offered for trade are not from the same set. If this happens, stop the game and sort it all out before continuing.

The first person to collect the entire set of one multiple and shout out, “Set of [insert number here]” wins that round. Here Chiara won five points for collecting the 5s.

After the next round, Ian won two points for collecting the 2s set. The first person to 25 points wins the game!

We are looking forward to playing this again when we get together with friends for an upcoming summer picnic. Enjoy the fun! And let us know how this game goes over with your family…..

What our Customers Are Saying

Thank you so much for your RightStart Math Curriculum. I have been using it for 3 years with my son and my daughter is beginning her second year. I love the strategies you use for teaching math and the lessons are fun to teach.

My daughter is 7 and this is our 2nd year to use RightStart Math. She is in 2nd grade and is adding and subtracting 4 digits numbers with trading like it is nothing. She also can do her multiplications. The most amazing thing is that when she is somewhere and has to spend her money she is quick to tell them how much change she needs back. I have seen a lot of teenagers and adults who cannot do thi… Read more

My daughter is in 4th grade this year. Math has always been a struggle for her, as it was for her father. I discovered that she has dyslexia (which is hereditary). I didn’t realize that had any effect on math, but I found out that people with dyslexia cannot learn with rote memorization or sequential skills. This makes it harder for them to remember math facts or how to do algorithms. Before I kne… Read more
