What to do

Cut out the cards. Deal eight cards to each player. Place the remaining cards face down in a pile – the pick-up pile.

Players look for pairs of cards that match and place them face up in the middle. For example, any two of these cards can make a pair:

Players then take turns adding cards to the pairs displayed face up.

Players may place new pairs of cards on the table. If a player does not have a card to add to a pair, they take a card from the pick-up pile.

The winner is the first to place all their cards.

What to expect your child to do

• Recognise teen numbers written as numerals, 10 + facts, and as dot arrays.
