Prepare this activity
Match a word with its picture, translation or identical word, depending on the set. Name pictures before playing so everyone uses the intended term. A vehicle picture, for example, may have several valid names.
Details to settle first
Check the associations before turning cards face down. After finding a pair, use the word in a sentence to distinguish recognition from understanding.
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.
