These cards seem to be flash cards that the participants fill in with their concept ideas - a brainstorming exercise.

Explanation:
round: (from Merriam-Webster) a unit of card play constituted by each player's having had a turn (as in playing a card, receiving a card in the deal, dealing, or betting)
a unit or division of play in a sports contest or game which occupies a stated period of time, covers a prescribed distance, includes a specified number of moves or plays, or gives each player one turn

A "round" of cards is a cycle of playing cards, after everyone has had a turn.
However "round" can be used to describe a "cycle" of almost anything, such as a few card games, etc.

to be dealt cards

Explanation:
In this context it is not a game of cards, but some form of training or learning. It is saying, "ask to be dealt(given) some cards", at random.
