Christmas Activity. This pack contains 56 playing cards that can be printed out onto card and used as a fun Christmas resource.

In both cases the person with the most sets wins.
It is entirely up to you how you prepare these cards, But we recommend that you print them out, in colour onto paper or card cut around the top and bottom card (on the top and bottom left). We then fold the middle section and glue the pieces together and laminate the card to ensure it’s durability. Alternatively, you can just use the front of the card for ease of use.
Have a very merry Christmas!
