  How to Play Clock Solitaire

  • Players: Requires only one player
  • Deck: Standard 52-card deck
  • Goal: Complete all other four-of-a-kind sets before the fourth king is revealed.

  Setup

  Shuffle the deck and deal the cards, face down, into 13 piles of four cards each.
  The piles should be arranged as if they are the numbers on a clock with the extra pile in the middle of the circle. The "numbers" of each of the piles (1 through 12 on the clock and the middle pile as the No. 13) are important.

  Gameplay

  Turn the top card on the 13th pile face up (that's the pile in the middle of the circle). Place the card, still face up, under the pile of that card's number. For example, a 4 would go under the 4 pile. An ace would go under the one pile. Face cards are placed as follows: jack under 11, queen under 12, king under 13.
  Then, turn the top card on that pile face up and place it, still face up, under the appropriate pile. Continue in this manner until the game ends.
  If the final face-down card in a pile belongs to that same pile, continue the game by turning the next (moving clockwise) face-down card face up.

  How to Win

  You win if all 13 piles become face-up piles of four-of-a-kind. However, you lose if the fourth king is turned face up before all the other sets are completed. Clock Solitaire is only won about 1% of the time because it is entirely based on chance.

Writing

• Handwriting practice: Practice writing your first and last name 3 times! Make sure to start your first and last name with a capital letter.
  
• Procedure writing is also know as How-To writing! Watch this video and then the 2 short video links below to help you get started!
• Step 1: Brainstorming
• Step 2: Introduction
• Parents: Just so you have more information about where we are headed with this project... This is about writing but it's also about the ability to break a task down into steps. Your child should take the time to brainstorm ideas and think of an introduction, but they do not need to physically write down the whole thing. You can scribe some of the introduction for them or help them come up with a script if they are interested in making a video. Have them use their imagination to design a way to teach us how to complete the task they choose step by step. They could draw pictures for each steps, write the directions out, make a video, a picture story or any combination!Get creative! They will go through the steps throughout this week and hopefully have a completed project on Friday. Here is one that my daughter Bailey and I made of how to wash your hands using photographs!
