Old Maid

Old Maid is a classic children’s card game that reinforces matching skills. It also gets players actively participating without the need for much assistance, if any.

How to Play

Start by dealing cards to players. They then look at their cards to match and discard any pairs they have. After discarding pairs, players are left with only individual numbers, and the game begins. The player to the left of the dealer shows his/her cards to the person to the left, who then picks one to make a pair with a card in his/her own hand. If no pair can be made, the player can take any card. This continues around the circle until players empty their hands. The last person to empty his/her hand is the “Old Maid”.
