ACTIVITY

House of Cards

To build a house of cards follow these simple steps. First find a deck of cards. This is the perfect thing for that deck that's missing one or two cards. Next find a flat surface. Areas that aren't slippery, like a pool table or or a rubber mat on a table work best. Be sure not to bump into your work area! Start by taking two cards and leaning them up against each other so t he short edges touch at the top and you have created an "arrow" pointing up. Put another one right next to it and then place a card flat along the top. Your design so far should look like this.

Continue doing this until your house of cards is the desired length and width. Next start to duplicate the this pattern on top of the first layer. Remember to make each new layer with one less set of cards. See how big you can make your house of cards before it falls down!
