You can use the Top TrumpsTM as a fun way to introduce the elements in the periodic table. In the game, players compare numerical properties of the elements. Each of the 30 cards represents an element, and we’ve chosen a mix of common and lesser-known elements for the pack. Each card has data on the element’s melting point, density, price, discovery date and the size of the atom. The cards also have fascinating facts about the elements, illustrated by an image of a use of the element.
 

The game is recommended for children aged 7-14, and can be played by two or more players. We’ve produced the cards in partnership with Winning Moves Ltd, the official makers of Top TrumpsTM.

 

The packs are now available to buy in our online shop individually for £6, or as a pack of six for £36. There’s also a discount of 35% for Royal Society of Chemistry members, taking the cost down to £3.90 per pack. 
 

You can get complimentary Royal Society of Chemistry membership through Learn Chemistry partnership, a free programme that connects you and your school with the world's leading chemistry community.
 

We’re also working on producing resources to help teachers use the cards in class. We’re making one set for teachers of the 7-11 age group, and another set for the 11-14 age group. These should be available on Learn Chemistry in time for the start of the new academic year.
