Card games require patience, being able to take turns, agreeing and sticking to the rules, and of course, being a team player – whether you win or you lose! These card games are not only fun, but allow kids to interact with others in ways that are constructive and helpful for building their self-esteem and confidence. One of the best ways for kids to develop their social and communication skills is to have them interact in a group setting, such as with their family. So to make sure that skills in these areas are continuing to grow and improve during this time, we have put together 10 super fun and easy card games that will get the whole family enjoying time together right from your lounge room.Ĭard games can be an excellent tool to support kids to feel confident in their communication and social interactions, whether their goal is to make friends or feel better equipped when dealing with stressful or frustrating situations (such as the current COVID-19 pandemic, interrupted routine and isolation from friends and extended family). During the COVID-19 pandemic, it can be difficult to find ways to help enhance kids social and communication skills given that in person contact is currently being discouraged.
