Today during Math I introduced a card game that was new to most members of our class: Garbage. It was quite a hit and students were sad when we had to stop and go to lunch. I thought that I would share the rules in case your child wants to play at home (or you are wondering what they are talking about...)!
Playing Garbage
3 players use 1 deck of playing cards A-10 are in play Jokers are Wild Cards Kings and Queens are Garbage which means your turn is over! 4 players or more use 2 decks of playing cards1) Dealing:Shuffle, then deal each player 10 cards face down, no looking!Like this (it looks like a ten frame!):
The remaining deck is placed in the middle.The point of the game is to line up your cards from Ace (1) through 10 before you opponents do.

2) Playing:
The first player draws a card from the center deck. If it’s an Ace through a 10, place that card in its correct location. For all remaining turns, each player chooses from the deck or the discard pile.Example: In this photo, I drew a 2, so I am flipping up the card in the 2 position…..

Whatever card you flip, may also be played! I just flipped a 3 that I can use as well in the 3 position…
Jokers are wild and may be played anywhere in your hand at any time.You keep flipping cards like this until you get a number you cannot use, then discard and your turn is over.
Example: Under the 3 position was an 8 I didn’t need because it was already filled with a flipped 8, so I discarded it and my turn was over. 
If you flip over a King or Queen you have "Garbage," your turn is over and the card goes in the discard pile.
3) Winning A Round:When a player has assembled all cards Ace through 10 in front of her, she wins that Round.
Remember, you can win with Wild Cards in place too!
