Salute

 

 

Cards Needed: One full standard card deck (one deck per three students) with all face cards removed.
Directions: Students group themselves into groups of three. One person is designated as the officer and the other two are the players. The card deck is shuffled and placed face down. Each player takes one card from the top of the deck but does not look at it. The officer says "1, 2, 3, salute" and the players puts their card on their forehead as if they are saluting the officer. The officer then calls out the product of the two numbers. The players, who can see each other's card but not their own, try to figure out what card is on their forehead. The first player to call out the correct card he is saluting with wins that round. The round is repeated with new cards being drawn until one player has five wins. Then this player becomes the officer and the officer becomes a player.

Optionally, you can use jokers as 0's.
