About Find the Pair
Find the Pair is a memory game made for the very young. There are only 4, 5 or 6 pairs, and the cards are so big that small fingers can easily hit them. The cards show happy animals and fruits: cat, dog, pig, duck, frog, rabbit, apple, banana and more.
You take turns turning over two cards. If they match, they light up in your colour and stars fly over to you. If they don’t match, the cards stay face up for a moment so everyone has time to see them before they turn back over. If you like, the iPad says the name of what’s on the card.
The game is made for a child to play together with a grown-up or a brother or sister. There’s no clock and no loser – when all the pairs are found, everyone gets a star. You can also choose to show all the cards for a moment at the start to make it a little easier.
How to play
- Choose how many are playing, the number of pairs and whether you want animals, fruit or both.
- Lay the iPad flat on the table. The glowing colour at the bottom shows whose turn it is.
- Turn over two cards. If they match, you win the pair. If not, they turn back over after a moment.
- The turn moves on after every try. When all the pairs are found, everyone gets a star.
