Bridge Dummy Turn: Visible Cards Still Have a Seat

A Bridge dummy turn occurs in the ordinary clockwise rotation. Declarer chooses dummy's card, but cannot play from dummy whenever convenient.

A Bridge dummy turn occurs in the ordinary clockwise rotation.

Declarer chooses dummy's card, but cannot play from dummy whenever convenient.

Declarer leads from their own hand.

The next defender plays, then dummy contributes, then the final defender.

Moving a useful dummy card into the trick before the intervening defender acts changes the proper order.

For Bridge dummy turn practice, point to each seat as its turn arrives.

Keep the two declaring hands physically separate; being controlled by one person does not turn them into a combined twenty-six-card hand.
