How to Play:
  1. Choose the Dealer.
  2. The dealer deals out the cards evenly to the other two players.
  3. The two players with cards sit facing each other.
  4. The dealer says “Salute!” and each player holds a card from the top of his pile to his forehead with the number facing out.
  5. Addition– the Dealer calls out the sum of the two numbers.  For example 3 + 6 is 9.
  6. Multiplication – the Dealer calls out the product of the two numbers.  For example 3 x 6 is 18.
  7. Jack, Queen, King = 10  Ace =11
  8. Each of the two players now tries to yell out the number on his forehead (which they cannot see!) based on the answer the dealer has given.
  9. The winner takes both cards.
  10. You can rotate the cards each turn so each player gets a chance to yell “Salute!”.  Or, play through the cards three times to see which player ends with the highest stack after all three players have a chance to be the Dealer.

DPA: Go outside for a nature walk!  Focus on your sense of hearing during your walk and see if you can listen for these items below:





DPA should be 60 minutes and you can split that time up into smaller sections of time.  For example, 30 mins for 2 sessions. If you can't get outside, do DPA inside instead.  See the DPA links on the side of this post.
