Make 10 Pyramid Game
This activity can be an individual activity, such as solitaire. Alternatively, it can be played by more than one player by keeping score after each round. A great fast fact game that kids enjoy playing!
Aim – To remove as many cards as possible from the pyramid that add up to 10.
How to play
- Remove all face cards except the Ace – this is the number 1.
- Create a pyramid shape with 6 rows (like the photo above). Each row should slightly overlap the previous row.
- The remaining cards become the draw pile.
- The object of the game is to remove cards that ‘make 10’. Students can remove one card (being a 10) or remove two cards that add up to 10.
- The cards that are removed must be completely uncovered. Therefore, at the start of the game you can only remove cards that are in the bottom row.
- The cards that add up to 10 are placed in a discard pile off to the side.
- If a player can not make 10 with any of the uncovered cards in the pyramid, they need to draw a card from the draw pile and can use this card to ‘make 10’. If they still can’t make 10 they continue to draw until they can make 10.
- If the draw pile runs out, a player can shuffle the discard pile and draw from there.
- The game is over when a player can no longer remove cards from the pyramid.
- If playing against each other, the player’s score is the total of all the cards left in their pyramid. The person with the smallest number wins that round.
