Discover - Build a House of Cards


You’ll need a sturdy flat surface to build on. 
I’ve noticed that some people put a thin cloth, towel, or blanket down on their building surface to make it less slippery for the cards.

You’ll also need “building materials”.  If you don’t have a deck of playing cards try Uno or Skipbo cards.  They work great.   Also check in your other games to see if they have cards.  “Sorry” usually has cards and other games might too.  Just be sure to put the cards back when you are done.  Older cards often work better than brand new cards.  If the cards are glossy they will be more slippery.

Start off by practicing.  Try out different ways to make the cards hold themselves up by leaning on each other.  Popular options are triangles or squares, but those aren’t your only options.  Try out any ideas you have.
