card differences

In the midst of a tricky job- changing language levels of puzzles to suit remote indigenous students. Came across this one, and thought I might share it. It's nice and easy, just hard to discribe to kids who have to cross cultural and language divides to use numbers, let alone figure out what cards are.
Seriously.
Here's the puzzle (this way I kill two birds with one stone- get to figure out what I want to say before I have to change it AND contribute a bit more) :
Clubs: A, 2. Diamonds: A, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.
Spades: 4, 5, 6. Hearts: 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.
Place all the cards in a line so there is only one change between each card.
One change means you can increase or decrease the number value by one keeping the suit the same, or you can change the suit keeping the number value the same.
Next, place all the cards so there are two differences between each card.
That means you can increase and decrease the numerical value by two and keep the suit the same
OR
Change the suit and increase/decrease by one

Presumably C2, rather than C3, for the penultimate

Thanks Yuniko. Just in case anyone's interested, I've gone with Uno cards- that way you can change colour (more obvious than suit)
