Matching cards offer a variety of ways to play . . . from the traditional placing the cards face down and flipping them over in search of a match, to more creative ways to play.  Why not deal the cards to each player and play "Go Fish"?  "Hide and Find" allows children to MOVE while they search for matching cards.  Simply hide the cards around the house or the classroom.  Children then search for matching sets.   

These basic, yet educational games, help with language development, visual recognition, strategy, problem solving and memory skills.  What a great way to build basic, foundational skills in young children! 

To engage in more concentrated play, arrange the cards as to the right, presenting the child(ren) with a multiple choice activity.  Again, reinforcing foundational skills in a fun, interactive way!
