Deal Me in

In this refreshing and unique book, eminent child psychologist, Margie Golick, demonstrates how more than any other "educational tool" a deck of ordinary playing cards can be an invaluable teaching and learning resource. Deal Me In! lists more than 80 card games including popular favorites such as "Crazy Eights" and "Hearts." Golick describes the objectives and methods of play in simple terms and explains the specific skills taught by each game. Ideal for the parent or teacher in need of quick, effective and fun teaching games. Excellent for children with learning disabilities. Did you know that a simple game of "Go Fish" or "Old Maid" can teach your child concepts of space, time and number, principles of sorting and grouping, and the forethought, logic, planning ability and mental alertness needed to handle many intellectual tasks? A great learning tool.
