Play game. Give one set of playing cards to each group of three to five students.

Deal three cards to each player and put the remaining cards in the center.
At each turn, each player picks one card from the center pile, then chooses one card to discard.
When a player discards a card, they declare the new total with the newly discarded card.
However, if a “5” or a “10” card is discarded, the number is subtracted from the total.
