If you’ve never tried, it can be hard to hold and fan 13 cards. Making a card holder is easy and can be a lot of fun!
Take a box of tinfoil or plastic wrap and have an adult remove the serrated cutting edge from the box. Fold the lid inside the box and tape down the corners and sides, leaving the space along the long front edge un-taped. (Another box will work as well but needs to be short so that you can look over the top of the cards.)
Find some paper you can use to decorate your box. It can be wrapping paper already decorated…or what can be great fun is to create it themselves. Crayons, construction paper, glue, maybe some card symbols from an old deck, and markers can let you create your own card holder that has the colors and designs you like best.
VOILA! Your own personal card holder! Here’s mine! Send me a picture of yours.

Parents – I know most of you have great parenting skills and know your children well, but here are a couple of tips when they are learning bridge. These comments come from personal experience when teaching camps and classes for kids…and I’ve seen them all. Just want to pass them along to all of you.
1. Let them play – just like when they are learning sports, you may show them how to hit the ball, but in a game you don’t take the bat away from them and do it for them.
