Card games for kids

Lotto Games: To start with download the FREE kids Lotto cards (click on images below). You can print them on ordinary office paper but better still is thin card. This will make it a little easier for you and your toddler to handle. Then cut into 8 pieces with a picture on each.

1. You will now have 16 Lotto cards showing 8 different pictures. So you will have 8 pairs of lotto cards. Next shuffle your card up to mix them. Now place them face down on to your table top. A coffee table is a good place to play this game. A good height for both players or a group of toddlers.

2. You now take turns one at a time to turn over two cards only. The aim of the game is to get 2 matching lotto cards. If the picture cards were matching then they are put together in front of the player who found them.

3. If the two lotto card were not matching then they are turned back over but left in exactly the same place on the table.

4. The next player turns over 2 more cards again either 2 new ones or 1 new card and one of the original cards. The idea being to try and remember where they saw the last matching lotto card.

5. The toddler game continues until all matching pairs of lotto cards have been found. Finally the winner of the lotto card game is the one with the most matching pairs.

Shapes Games for kids: These kids card games are another great idea for helping toddlers to learn some simple shapes. To see if very young toddlers understand matching shapes print out 2 copies. Then cut out the shapes from one print out.

Then place the uncut sheet in front of your toddler then give them the cut outs and ask them to put the right shape on top of each other. Again this is a very simple way of getting them to understand that there are different shapes even if they don't yet know the shape names. To get your free printables click on any image below.

You could also print off one copy of each color. Then ask your toddler to put all the same color shapes together in piles. This will help with their color recognition as well as learning shapes. So 2 games for the price of one...a big fat ZERO :-)
