Instructions
Lay out the cards face down and mixed up in a 5x5 grid (or bigger if you wish to make more cards). Players take it in
turns to turn over 2 cards at a time. When they match a picture and definition, they collect the pair and have another
turn.
When a player turns over 2 cards that do not match, they must turn them face down again and it becomes the next
player’s turn.
