Every card has one matching icon on it and there are a few ways of playing it, whether that be trying to collect as many cards or getting rid of your cards in hand. Students call out the matching icon on their top card and the card everyone is looking at. The game comes with instructions, for example: PLAY THIS WAY: Deal out all, but 1, of the cards to all players leaving one in the center of the playing area, with the pictures face up. Each player must then find the identical symbol between their card and the card in the center of the table (on the draw pile). If a player finds an identical symbol, they shout out the matching symbol and then they put down that card in the center, revealing a new card to be matched up. The player who gets rid of their cards first, wins! PNG files work best for printing (instructionis below) but please also find a PDF version too. PRINTING ADVICE: Extract all to the zip file.
