Add to ORKGWe define a simple card game, where cards are computational elements; computing machines can be defined, built and animated in a concrete way by disposing cards and moving pegs around them, following formal rules. We discuss how to use this card game as an educational tool, to introduce children 8 to 10 years old to the concept of computation, seen as manipulation of symbols. Students will not need any mathematical knowledge to explore information theoretic concepts by means of our tool; moreover the students can easily expand the tool with new components for exploring new concepts. Graph-based syntax and graph-rewriting semantics are given to formalize cards and their behaviour
