In the fourth part of our series of card games to play with children we look at the fun game of Play Your Cards Right. This game requires at least two people.

This game reinforces understanding of number values and also introduces the concept of probability. For example if a 2 is turned up it is more probable that the next card will be of a higher, rather than lower value.

Bridge Clubs, typically, are either “Unincorporated Associations” or registered Charities. Some Clubs own their premises while others rent space for their bridge sessions. The latter group commonly rent from Community organisations which themselves may be registered Charities.

Depending on the governance status of the Club, and whether it owns its premises, some grant-giving bodies will be more relevant than others (for example, some will only make grants to charities).

In the latest instalment of the "Day in the Life" series of blog posts, EBU Communications Officer, Sam Kelly describes her typical work day:

I live locally in Aylesbury, so I have just a short commute to the office. I usually arrive in the office just before my shift starts at 8.30am.

In the third part of our series of card games to play with children we look at the fun game of Finger on the Nose. This game requires at least three people.

This incredibly silly card game remains a firm favourite at Christmas every year and can be played with the whole family.
