Recognize each pair
Review pictures face up and name their elements; vocabulary examples include flower, candle, ofrenda, remembrance, skull, paper. Agree whether a match requires identical images or a particular association before shuffling.
After the activity
Describe one motif and something you would like to learn about it; participants do not need to share personal memories. Explore Day of the Dead vocabulary through flowers, ofrendas and decorative motifs while distinguishing the celebration from Halloween.
Two cards each turn
Turn over two cards so everyone can see them. Keep a matching pair; otherwise return both cards to the same positions. Agree whether finding a pair grants another turn. Start with a small set and add more pairs for a later game.
