Playing card fractions

Whilst playing yet another playing cards maths game, I had an idea for another way to use this versatile resource in another way. Converting irregular fractions! Just pair the children up and give them a deck. Place 2 cards one above the other. The top is the numerator and the bottom, the denominator.  Does the fraction require converting? If so children race to convert the irregular fraction and record their working. Simples :)
