How to make them

Print on 250–300 gsm (about 80–110 lb cover) cardstock at 100% / Actual size. Do not choose Fit to page, so the cards stay playing-card size. Cut, round the corners and play. No printer for card? Print on paper and glue it onto card.

How you get it

This is a digital download. Nothing is shipped. After purchase, download the zip file and unzip it. It has a US Letter folder and an A4 folder; print the PDFs that match your paper at home or in your classroom.

Printing

Open the US Letter or A4 PDF and print at 100% (actual size). Do not choose Fit to page, so the cards stay playing-card size.
