This game has been designed to help children with matching and memory skills. Matches are made by clicking on and displaying two cards that are the same.
There are three levels of difficulty, indicated by the 3 bars on the left of the toolbar.
There are 8 different activities.

When a match is made, the two tiles will disappear and part of a hidden picture is revealed. If the two tiles chosen do not match, they are turned back over.
Players must wait for the tiles to be returned to their original position before the next turn.
When all the matches are made the whole picture is revealed. The next puzzle will then appear.
Levels can be changed at any time. In the listening games, a sound can be repeated by clicking on the tile again.
As matches are made, guess what the hidden picture is.
Sound can be turned on and off by clicking on the music symbol in the upper right corner.
To exit, click on the small hand in the upper right corner of the screen.

Playing this memory game with two players involves sharing and focusing on the task at hand. Most children are happy to share, but may tend not to pay attention when they don't have the mouse. In this game, players who watch their opponent's moves are more likely to find matches. This will encourage them to pay attention during the game.
Co-operative learning is a very important way of learning. It teaches us important interpersonal skills and allows children to learn from one another. When children share a common task they reinforce behaviours such as listening to and supporting others, mutual respect and empathy, taking turns and focusing on the task at hand. To achieve common goals they need to express their thoughts and develop effective communication skills. Ideas of others are shared, which can lead to the sparking of new ideas and possibilities.
