Preparing the Domino Games

To Prepare Each Game

Print the Domino Cards and Instruction Cards for the game and cut into separate cards. These can be laminated to make them more durable if you choose. Store the cards for the games in a plastic bag or envelope. On each card for each game, there is a small graphic to help you identify which set a card belongs to if it is separated from the set.
