Prepositions Game How to win: The aim of the game is to get rid of all your cards. Instructions to play the game: 1. Shuffle the cards and deal out 7 cards per player. Maximum: 4 players (per set of cards). 3. Place one card (not a penalty card) face up and put the remainder of the cards (the pack) face down beside it. 3. You can discard a card onto the face up pile if it is the same animal or the same preposition as the current card showing. E.g. if the card showing is, ‘The rabbit is in the toilet’ then you can throw down any ‘Rabbit’ or ‘Toilet’ card. 4. The penalty cards are: ‘Skip’ - the next player skips one turn ‘Reverse’ - the order of play reverses (the previous student throws next) ‘Draw Two’ - the next player takes two from the pack unless they can put any ‘Draw Two’ card down. In the latter case, the next player who can’t throw a ‘Draw Two’ card has to pick up the total number of cards from the pack. 5. The ‘Wild’ card can be played at any time and the thrower has to call out the new animal. The ‘Draw 4’ card is similarly wild, but the next player has to draw 4 from the pack, unless they can play another ‘Draw 4’. 6. When a player throws down their penultimate card, they must shout ‘UNO’ before the next player takes their turn. Failure to do so results in a penalty of two cards from the pack. 7. Children should read the text as they throw down each card.
