🌿 GROW Reflection Pause
When a player gets a set, invite them to share a GROW:
Gratitude – What are you grateful for?
Recognition – How can you recognize Hashem or the good?
Oneness – How can you connect to yourself, Hashem, and others ie. Mitzvah?
Wishes – What do you want or wish?

🌼 2. GROW Fish
Goal: Collect the most GROW Sets (four cards of the same number or 4 cards with G, R, O, W).
Setup:
Deal 5 cards to each player (7 if only two players).
The rest form the draw pile.
How to Play:
On your turn, ask another player:
“Do you have any G (or R, O, W) ___s?” (state a specific number).
Example: “Do you have any 6s?”
If they have it, they must give it to you, and you go again.
If not, they say, “Go GROW!” and you draw a card.
When you collect all 4 cards of the same number or all 4 cards that spell GROW, lay them down as a GROW Set. Game continues until all cards form sets.
Winner: The player with the most GROW Sets wins!
🌻 3. GROW War
Goal: Win all the cards through GROW challenges!
Setup:
Shuffle and deal all cards evenly between players.
Each player keeps their pile face down.
How to Play:
Both players flip over their top card.
The higher number wins the round and takes both cards to their “win pile.”
If there’s a tie (same number):
Each player places three cards face down and one face up.
The higher face-up card wins all the cards in the tie pile.
Repeat in case of another tie.
Winner:
The player who collects all the cards wins.
🌼 4. GROW Crazy Eights
Goal: Be the first to get rid of all your cards.
Setup:
Deal 5 cards to each player (7 if two players).
Place the rest face down; turn one face up to start the discard pile.
How to Play
On your turn, play a card that matches either the number or the icon (G.R.O.W.) of the top discard.
If you cannot play, draw from the pile until you can.
Eights (or any chosen “wild card”) are wild — play them anytime and choose the next icon (G.R.O.W).
Continue until a player plays their last card.
Winner: First player to empty their hand wins the round.
