To play Rock, Paper, Scissors:

  • You and a friend each choose one card secretly, keeping it hidden so your friend can't see what you chose.
  • Then count to 3 and both of you flip over your cards to see who wins.
  • Fire beats Leaf
  • Leaf beats Water
  • Water beats Fire
  • If you have the same color, it’s a tie.

To play War:

  • Two players each flip over cards from their decks. Following the rules above.
  • The winner of each flip collects the cards on their side.
  • Whoever has the most cards at the end wins.
  • Don’t forget to write your name on your cards and sort them out after!
