Here is a video I made at the end of the day that helps to explain how to play "Advanced Gin Rummy." Because the game can be quite challenging, the Magical Minds have permission to play regular Gin instead. Personally, I find the "Advanced Gin Rummy" more fun and entertaining. I encourage families to keep playing this game on a regular basis. The children will build their understanding of different strategies; they will become more comfortable holding cards in their hand; they will improve their counting skills as they practice counting by 5's, 10's and 15's. It is also just a fun game.
Use the guide sheet below to play this game where each card is worth 5 points. Practice multiplying by 5's as your count up your cards.
