Printable Animal Cards
When I was young I loved playing trump cards with my friends and memorised loads of obscure facts from the cards. My favourites were the cowboys and horror packs. When I worked as a teacher I created this animal trump card game in order to help my students learn about animals and to create an enthusiasm for animals. Here I have decided to offer this printable card game for free.
I hope you enjoy playing my free animal trump card game, and please, no fighting over who is the winner!

How to Print the Animal Trump Card Game?
Every module of this lens contains a single jpg image of 4 printable cards. Simply follow these instructions.
1. Click on the preview image.
2. Click "Save picture as".
3. Select an appropriate place on your hard drive to save the files to.
4. Click "Save"
5. Print the cards at your leisure.
The printable cards are best printed on stiff card or onto paper and then laminated. In fact the latter wil produce a more durable set of playing cards.
Animal Trump Cards - How To Play The Game
The trump card game is for 2 or more players
2. The players hold their cards so that they can see only the top card.
3. The player to the dealer's left begins by reading out a fact from the top card (e.g. Top Speed 40kph). The others then read out the same fact. The one with the highest value wins and places all the cards won in that round, including their own, to the bottom of their pack. It is then their turn again to choose an item from the next card.
4. Sometimes 2 or more cards will share the top value. In this case all the cards in that round are placed in the middle and the same player chooses again from their next card. The winner of the hand wins the cards in the middle as well.
5. The player with all the cards at the end is the winner.

- I recently put together my own Top Trumps homemade cards, and they look embarrassingly crap compared to these. Thank you for putting this together. Have you thought of making a lens showing how to make such professional-looking cards?
