Turkey Number Bond “Go Fish” Game

Rules of the Game

• Each player is dealt 3 cards with the remaining cards placed face down in the center of the table. [NOTE: The game is best played with 3-6 players.]
• Each player looks through their hand and discards any pairs (younger children will discard matching numbers, older children will make pairs based on number bonds as described above.
• The student left of the dealer starts the game by asking a specific player (regardless of their position in the circle) for a card that will help them make a match. If the player does not have the card they say "Go fish!" and the student must select a card from the middle. If the player has the card (or multiples of the card), they must give all of them to the student. The student then makes a pair and continues their turn until they're told to "Go fish!" by another player.
• When the center pile is gone or a student has discarded all of their cards, the game ends and the student with the most discarded pairs wins!

Rules of the Game

• Deal out all of the cards.
• Each player looks through their hand and discards any pairs (younger children will discard matching numbers, older children will make pairs based on number bonds as described above.
• The dealer begins the game by offering their cards, face down, to the student on their left. The student chooses a card in the hopes of matching it to one of those left in their hand. If a match can be made, the student places it with their rest of their matches. If a match cannot be made, the card stays in their hand.
• After their turn, the student then offers their cards to the player on their left and the process is repeated.
• The game continues this way until someone is left holding the unmatchable zero card (or "Old Maid").

Rules of the Game

• Have students roll a dice to see who goes first.
• The player rolling the highest number starts out by flipping two cards over, revealing their numbers. If the numbers do not create a match, they are flipped back over and it is the next player's turn. If the numbers do create a match (refer above to the rules for younger and older players), the student claims the cards and continues by flipping over two more cards. This continues until a match cannot be made and then it is the next player's turn.
• The game continues until all matches have been made, the player with the most matches wins.
