Our class is going to be playing card games that encourage them to think outside of the box. Games like Trump and Tricks will be taught to help students develop inductive reasoning and logic skills while challenging their mind and developing analytical thinking. These games teach students to be better communicators and partners, and to recognize that rules are an important part of their world. You will soon see your young student's power of concentration and memory increase, while he or she tackles the game to win tricks. The game of Whist dates back to the 17th century. It is game that is considered to be the precursor to the game of Bridge, a game enjoyed by millions of people throughout the world. In this game, your student will learn the importance of respect and communication in a partnership.

I will be sending home direction sheets for the games we learn at school. I encourage you to ask your child to "teach" you the new game as you enjoy this activity together.

Very truly yours,
