how to play

This is a card game for two or three. Kids try to collect pairs of matching cards. A pair consists of a picture with its name and a card with the text, for example, My name is Barbara.


  • Shuffle the cards and deal them.
  • Players check if they have any pairs, and put the pairs they have found aside.
  • Then one player chooses one card from his or her partner's set. If the chosen card matches any of his or her cards, he or she puts the pair aside.
  • Now it is another player's turn to play. The looser is the one who's left with the peter! card.
