I am passionate about educational learning games in all year groups including A level. Learning should be fun and games in lessons stimulate the students' motivation and engagement, their creativity and their team spirit. Games encourage discussions with one another and learning from each other. I hope my resources help students to be "game to learn".

There is only one symbol that two cards have in common and it’s different for every card pair - can students find it and name it?
Cards are distributed between players. One card is placed in the middle. Players hold their cards as a pile with the top card showing symbols. The player who can first find the matching symbol between his top card and the card in the middle calls out that symbol and places his top card in the middle. Now the matching symbol of that card with the players' top cards has to be found. The player who manages to get rid of all his cards first is the winner.
