Elements / Elemental based Trumps (Top Trumps Style) Game that includes the 32 most abundant elements on Earth. Perfect for teaching chemistry, earth science and middle school science in general. Adaptable, useful and down-right brilliant if I do say so myself. If you print and laminate them you will literally have them as a tool for life. For the small price it is honestly a bit of a steal and I am so happy to be offering them to you.

Every elements trumps card include a visual that shows a use for this element or a process where this element is involved. There is also always a fun fact (fact file) item that sometimes connects with the visual and sometimes extends beyond it to another use of that element or fact of interest on that element. They also have a back cover and when printed double-sided the cards should line up perfectly.

The cards are of a level that would suit middle and high school students helping to cover ideas of abundance, common elements on our planet and more too.

These trumps are well styled, they have the following categories:

• Element number
• Abundance
• Melting point
• Reactivity
• Trumps Rating

The Trumps rating is included as a way of balancing the game more effectively for enjoyment. The elements covered are:

• Oxygen
• Silicon
• Aluminum
• Iron
• Calcium
• Sodium
• Potassium
• Magnesium
• Titanium
• Hydrogen
• Phosphorus
• Manganese
• Fluorine
• Barium
• Strontium
• Sulfur
• Carbon
• Chlorine
• Zirconium
• Vanadium
• Chromium
• Nickel
• Rubidium
• Zinc
• Copper
• Nitrogen
• Lithium
• Cesium
• Gallium
• Scandium
• Lead
• Thorium

The cards can be used in so many ways and these are discussed fully in the implementation notes, in summary here are some initial ideas:

• The classic game of trumps (card versus cards)
• Organizing games
• SNAP (a classic and easy game)
• Which element am I? To check student knowledge and learning
• Giving students one element to research
• and even more!
