			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>Black Jack &#8211; Card Game</h1>
<h4>Pontoon &#8211; Black Jack &#8211; Twenty-One &#8211; Vingt-et-un</h4>
<p>Any of these names familiar to you?</p>
<p>Yes, No, Well any way, I am going to tell you about them.<br />
Welcome to Twenty-one,this is a very good game.</p>
<p><em>&#8220;Bust&#8221; &#8220;Hit me&#8221; &#8220;Hold&#8221;</em> scream the players at the dealer, who has a very busy life. This game of 21 is very quick.<br />
<strong>The point is to have or be closest to 21</strong></p>
<p><strong>What you need to play this card game</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>5-8 players per pack of cards</li>
<li>Pack of 52 cards a pack for 5-8 players</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>First</strong><br />
Deal out everyone two cards.</p>
<p><strong>Second</strong><br />
Everyone looks at their cards.Cards value is:</p>
<ul>
<li>Ace is either 1 or 11</li>
<li>Two is two</li>
<li>Three is three</li>
<li>Four is four</li>
<li>Five is five</li>
<li>Six is six</li>
<li>Seven is seven</li>
<li>Eight is eight</li>
<li>Nine is nine</li>
<li>Ten is ten</li>
<li>Jack is ten</li>
<li>queen is ten</li>
<li>King is ten</li>
<li>Don&#8217;t play with Jokers</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Third-The rules</strong><br />
Explain this to everyone playing. The best is this:</p>
<ol>
<li>If your first two cards are a Black Jack and a Ace.</li>
<li>Next if you first two cards are a Red Jack and a Ace.</li>
<li>If your first two cards equal 21.</li>
<li>5 cards equals 21 or less.</li>
<li>More than two cards and less then five equal 21.</li>
<li>Or the closest to 21.</li>
<li>If you go over 21, you bust. If you bust-you lose.</li>
</ol>
<p>After dealing the cards the players can chose to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Hold(wait until the end of game.)</li>
<li>Hit me(the dealer gives you another card)</li>
<li>Bust(You lose the game because you went over 21)</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Fourth</strong><br />
After everyone doesn&#8217;t want to do anything else, but hold. Then everyone puts their cards on the table, and saying what the cards are worth.</p>
<p>Enjoy the game of twenty-one</p>
<p>Then the person to the left of the dealer becomes dealer.</p>
<p>People can also play betting with chips and real money.</p>
<p>Please look around for more fun card games like 21.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>Texas Holdem</h1>
<p>Texas Holdem is a very fun game that can be played for money or just for fun.<br />
The idea of gambling may put you off, but this game doesn&#8217;t have to be played that way!<br />
Many people may not like to play a game of chance, but this game is not like that.<br />
There is much skill involved in the way of bluffing, though I will admit that there is an element of luck.</p>
<p>There are many hands that you can be dealt in this game, their names and descriptions are below.<br />
They are in order from best (or highest) to worst (or lowest).</p>
<h4>Different Hands</h4>
<ul>
<li>Royal Flush: T, J, Q, K, A all of the same suit.<br />
The chance of you getting this hand is about 1/650,000.</li>
<li>Straight Flush: Five cards in a row all of the same suit, but not Ace high.<br />
The chance of you getting this hand is about 1/72,000.</li>
<li>Four of a kind: Four cards of the same rank<br />
(Example. KKKK)<br />
The chance of you getting this hand is about 1/4,000.</li>
<li>Full House: Three cards of the same rank plus a pair<br />
(example KKKAA)<br />
The chance of you getting this hand is about 1/700.</li>
<li>Flush: Five cards of the same suit.<br />
The chance of you getting this hand is about 1/500.</li>
<li>Straight: Five cards in a row of different suits.<br />
(example 5,6,7,8,9)<br />
The chance of you getting this hand is about 1/250.</li>
<li>Three of a kind: Three of the same card.<br />
(example KKK)<br />
The chance of you getting this hand is about 1/50</li>
<li>Two pair: Two pairs.<br />
(KKAA)<br />
The chance of you getting this hand is 1/20</li>
<li>One pair: Any two cards of the same rank.<br />
(example KK)<br />
The chance of you getting this hand is 1/2.5</li>
<li>High card: If all else fails, the highest card wins – aces are highest.<br />
The chance of you getting this hand is 1/2.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Good Words to Know Playing Texas Holdem</h4>
<p>These are some words that are commonly used in Texas Holdem, and are quite handy for you to know.</p>
<p>Bet: A pretty obvious one, a bet is when a player puts an amount in the center of the table to be &#8220;called&#8221; by other players.</p>
<p>Call: To meet another players bet.</p>
<p>Raise: to put in more than the previous bet.<br />
Please note that this makes the play go around the table again and everyone else has to call this raise or fold.</p>
<p>Fold: To place your cards on the table and declare that you are &#8220;out&#8221; for the rest of the round.</p>
<p>Check: Only used if no-one before you has bet, basically you are &#8220;checking&#8221; to see what the next people are going to do, also if someone has bet already you must call or raise their bet or fold.</p>
<h4>The Rules for Texas Holdem</h4>
<p>1. The Cards are shuffled and dealt, two to each player, and the deck is placed face down in the center.</p>
<p>2. Each player puts a predetermined amount into the center for the &#8220;blind&#8221; or the &#8220;starting bet&#8221;.</p>
<p>3. The dealer takes the top card and places it face down on the &#8220;burn&#8221; pile, after that the dealer takes the top three cards and turns them face up on the table, close to the deck.</p>
<p>4. The player to the left of the dealer has the first turn, and they can bet or check (see above) depending on what their hand is like.</p>
<p>5. Each player takes their turn, betting, folding, calling, raising or checking as they go.(See above for definitions)<br />
Something to note is that you cannot check if someone previous to you has bet, you have to call(meet) their bet or you have to fold.<br />
If no-one bets, then you are allowed to check, but if someone after you bets, you have to call(meet) their bet, or fold.</p>
<p>6. The dealer then takes the top card(again) and puts it in the &#8220;burn&#8221; pile, after that the dealer takes the next card and places it in the middle, the betting then commences for the second time.</p>
<p>7. Each player takes their turn, betting, folding, calling, raising or checking until the people who cannot or will not bet have folded or checked,(only if everyone else checks as well), or the bet is called (met).</p>
<p>8. The dealer then takes the top card(again) and puts it in the &#8220;burn&#8221; pile, after that the dealer takes the next card and places it in the middle, the betting then commences for the third time.</p>
<p>9. Each player takes their turn, betting, folding, calling, raising or checking until the people who cannot or will not bet have folded or checked,(only if everyone else checks as well), or the bet is called (met).</p>
<p>10. There should be five cards on the table and two in your hand.<br />
Every player now shows his or her hand and the best hand wins the chips in the center.</p>
<p>Have fun playing Texas Holdem!</p>
<h4>Additional Rules for Texas Holdem</h4>
<p>There is only one additional rule and that is:<br />
1. You may only use five of the seven cards available for use.</p>

<p>Indoor games for kids are fun and exciting.This is another kids indoor game.</p>
<p>Animal treasure is one of the most noisy kids games. It is perfect kids indoor game, but you can play it outside. This is a large group game and is very exciting.</p>
<p><strong>First</strong> You divide every one into groups of five or six. Then they choose an animal and a team leader.</p>
<p><strong>Second</strong>By then you should have scattered and hidden the lollies and treats.(You can hide these while the players were choosing group, team leaders and animals.)</p>
<p><img src="http://kids-games-explained.com/usdogs.jpg" border="0" alt="Animal Treasure" width="480" height="249" /></p>
<p><strong>Third</strong> You explain to everyone: That the only person to pick up the treats is the team leader.When you want your team leader to come, make your animal noise. If you use any proper words or if you pick up the treat, you need to sit on the side for the rest of the game.</p>
<p>Whatever animal you chose you have to make that noise so:</p>
<p>If you chose to be sheep you need to &#8220;baaa.&#8221;</p>
<p>If you chose to be the dogs, you say, &#8220;woof, woof, woof.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Fourth</strong> The game can begin.</p>
<p><strong>Fifth</strong> At the end of the game when most of the treats have been found, the groups divide the treats between their group.</p>
<p>HAVE FUN!</p>
<p>Why am a saying that, indoor kids games are always fun!</p>

<h4>Use your brain to step out your attack.</h4>
<p><img src="http://www.kids-games-explained.com/chess1.jpg" border="0" alt="Use your brain" width="480" height="278" /></p>
<p>Any questions about rules for the game chess here are the answers.</p>
<p>I will be explaining how far the piece moves and what direction it moves. But I&#8217;ll won&#8217;t be able to explain every rule for you, sorry.</p>
<p>Chess is an exciting game full of quick and smart moves. You will have to knock of weaker soldiers working your way to the harder ones. Maybe you might have to lose one pawn to take two. This game you need stratagem and sometimes brute force. Here are some rules</p>
<p><strong>The point is:</strong></p>
<p>To make the other person King, in check mate.You need only two players for this game</p>
<p><strong>First</strong><br />
You line your armies up. You start lining up the white army first, on one side.</p>
<ul>
<li>Castle&#8217;s go in the bottom two corners.</li>
<li>The knights or horses go just one spot inside them.</li>
<li>The bishops, go just inside of them.</li>
<li>Then the king and queen in the middle.</li>
<li>The queen goes on her own colour.</li>
<li>Then the pawns are lined up in front of the rest.</li>
</ul>
<p>Then you do the black army.</p>
<p><strong>Second</strong><br />
More rules for the game chess</p>
<ul>
<li>Castles can move in straight lines and as many spaces as they like.<img src="http://www.kids-games-explained.com/chess3.jpg" border="0" alt="Castle's moves" width="407" height="347" /></li>
<li>Arch bishops can move diagonal- up left- up right- down left-down right.<img src="http://www.kids-games-explained.com/chess6.jpg" border="0" alt="Chess archbishops" width="407" height="305" /></li>
<li>Queens can do both what the castles can do and what the archbishops can do. Right-Left-Down-Up-Down left-down right-up right-up left.<img src="http://www.kids-games-explained.com/chess4.jpg" border="0" alt="Chess queens" width="407" height="305" /></li>
<li>Usually, Pawns can move up 1 space. However, when the game begins, they have the option of moving 2 spaces forward in their first move. When they are attacking they can move 1 space diagonally to capture another piece.<img src="http://www.kids-games-explained.com/chess7.jpg" border="0" alt="Chess pawns" width="407" height="305" /></li>
<li>King can move to any space around him.<img src="http://www.kids-games-explained.com/chess9.jpg" border="0" alt="Chess king" width="407" height="305" /></li>
<li>Knights go 1 space forward or backwards and 2 spaces side ways, or 2 spaces forward or backwards and 1 space side ways.</li>
</ul>
<p><img src="http://www.kids-games-explained.com/chess12.jpg" border="0" alt="Chess knights" width="407" height="305" /></p>
<p>Enjoy and have a great game of chess.</p>

<p>For sock wrestling it is good to have a group of from 20 to 50 people. Also we need a large hall of field to play in. Everyone puts a sock on their left foot and a no shoes on either feet and no sock on their right foot. The point of the game is to grab the other people&#8217;s sock off their foot without letting other get your sock of your foot.</p>
<p>There are two different ways to play sock wrestling.</p>
<h4>First way to play &#8211; Individual points</h4>
<p>Every one should get into a large circle. Then you call out a type of something to do with the group of people that are playing. So you would call out:Girls, boys, with blue pants, with white tops, age of 13, 14, 15 or all high school students. So you would call out a category and then they would go into middle of the circle.</p>
<p>The point of the game is to grab the other people&#8217;s sock off their foot. And so after you have said the category, then you have to say &#8220;Go&#8221; then they start going at each others sock. Once your sock is off you have to go back to the edge of the circle. You cannot touch your own sock when the game starts. The last person with a sock on wins.</p>
<p>You make everyone remember how many times they have won. After everyone has played 3 or 4 times then the person with the most points win.</p>
<h4>Second way to play &#8211; Team points</h4>
<p>You make everyone line up in a line of tallest to shortest then divide everyone up into four groups. Then line them up from tallest to shortest in their own group and then you give everyone a number. The shortest person gets the number one, the next two, the next three and so on. You do that to every group. So when you do call up the number one, you would get the shortest person from each team to battle for sock&#8217;s and so on.</p>
<p>Then you would get every team in a different corner. Then you would call out a number and they would run out and start to take of other peoples socks. Every time a persons sock is pulled off they have to go back to their team. The last person with a sock, get&#8217;s a point for their team.</p>
<p>The team with the most points win.</p>
