The LEARNING game
Players: 2 or more
Goal of the game:
· The one with most cards wins.
How to play:
· Shuffle all cards
· Place the deck face down
· The first player picks the top card, calls the name of the element
· The second player must tell him the symbol as well as one or more properties (i.e. period, group, series etc.)
· If the second player can do it, the card is giving to him and a new card is drawn.
· The process is repeated until he misses. In that case, the first player tells him the symbol and properties, the card is discarded and the roles are changed.
· Increase difficulty level by asking for more properties.
