Give Some Percent
This is a game for two or more players.
The object of the game: Get as close to 0 as possible.
Materials:
Deck of cards, Ace worth 11, Jack worth 12, Queen worth 13,
King worth 14
How to Play:
- Shuffle the cards and place the deck face down in the center of the table.
- Decide on a percent for the first game. For example, let’s use 50%.
- Turn over the top card (4 of spades).
- Players race to find the given percentage (50%) of the value of the card.
- The first player that can give a correct answer wins the card. (In this example, 50% of 4, the answer would be “2”.)
- Play until the deck or time runs out.
- The player with the most cards wins.
- In the case of an odd number, use decimals or fractions to represent the answer (50% of 11 is 5.5 or 5 1/2).
- Allow the winner of each round to determine the percent used for the next round
