What is in a deck of cards:

• Each card has a prompt side and a numbers side.
• On the numbers side, each card features a large number in the upper right corner. These numbers are 1 to 11 in each of five colors: red, green, blue, yellow, and purple.
• EVERY card has at least one number in common with every other card – though they may be different colors or fonts which makes it tricky to spot!
• SOME cards have a perfect match – a number with the exact same color/font.
• No activity included here requires all 55 cards.
• If you have more than 55 people in your group, use multiple decks!

Follow our instructions on a few ways to use the cards to enhance connection and have fun as pairs or as a group. If you discover a new activity, please share it with us!
