    SPOONS CARD GAME

    This is a great card game to play with a larger group of kids!

    Here’s what you’ll need to play


    Spoons Card Game…
    • 6 or more players

    • 1 deck of cards

    • spoons – 1 less spoon for


    the amount of people
    playing

    • *If 10 people are playing


    you’ll need 9 spoons. If 6
    people are playing, you’ll
    need 5 spoons. If 8 people
    are playing, you’ll need 7
    spoons and so on…

    (for a video tutorial head to kidfriendlythingstodo.com)

    How to Play:

    1. Players should gather around in a circle.

    2. Shuffle the deck of cards and give 4 to each player

    3. Put the remaining cards in the middle of the table as a


    draw pile

    4. Choose a leader

    5. The leader should choose a card from the draw pile and
    decide if they want to keep it or pass it on. The goal is to
    get 4 cards of a kind (ex. All four Kings, or all four 8’s).

    6. The leader should pass on one card from their hand


    (leaving them with 4 in their hand) to the person on the
    right

    7. That person then picks up the card and decides which


    card to get rid of and then pass one to the player on
    their right

    8. The last person, before the leader will just discard their
    card into a discard pile in the center of the table

    9. Play continues in a pretty fast pace with cards being


    passed from player to player in a circle

    10. When one player matches 4 cards and has 4 of a kind in


    their hand, they should secretly grab a spoon from the
    center of the table

    11. As soon as you notice a spoon is missing, you should also


    grab a spoon. As soon as the first spoon is taken from the
    center circle it is a free for all, you do not need 4 of a
    kind to take one.

    12. Once players catch on they will all start scrambling to


    grab a spoon

    13. The one player that is too slow to react, will sadly be
    without a spoon and lose the game. This player will now
    be out.  

    14. Reshuffle the cards and set out the spoons (remember,
    each round you should have 1 less spoon than you do
    players, so if someone gets out adjust how many spoons
    you are playing with.

    15. The last two players standing win!

    Alternative:

    In this variation, no-one ever gets out. You just keep playing
    and reset the spoons each time.

    If you would still like to keep score, you can choose this
    variation and award 5 points every round to the players that
    grab a spoon. If you lose, you just won’t receive any points for
    the round.
