Throwback Thursday Steal a Heart

I created this game for a group class I had near Valentine’s Day and many students and teachers think it’s one of my best games. It was an older group with middle school and high school age students. I told them it was a game to test the dreaded ledger line notes! But when I made the game, I also included all the notes so I could use it with younger students and omit the ledger lines notes.

They had a lot of fun playing it, stealing the same cards back and forth and trying to figure out the really hard ledger lines. They laughed a lot and I was glad that I had a game this group enjoyed.

   “I have been playing that valentine game with my students… They absolutely love it from the oldest to the youngest. Yesterday a sixth grader asked his mom if he could stay five more minutes to play it again.” – Linda K.
