There are two black suits — spades (♠) and clubs (♣) and two red suits
— hearts (♥) and diamonds (♦). In each suit there are 13 cards including
a 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, a jack, a queen, a king and an ace. (Note that
there is no 1.) A jack, a queen and a king are called picture cards. And
a joker.
Be CREATIVE! Pick a character that is
going to be a challenge, but isn’t
overly complex.

Playing Cards are Everywhere!
With their long and interesting history, and their widespread use still today,
playing cards are an integral part of today’s global culture. Wherever you
go in the world, you’re likely to see a deck; sold in supermarkets and as
souvenirs, or being used to provide a few moments of enjoyment in a card
game, playing cards are everywhere. They are also a medium for
expression and the sharing of information, and as such, their significance
cannot be underestimated. So, the next time you’re looking for a new
source of inspiration, deal yourself a hand of cards!
