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.
