Twin CARDS

Play along with the child (Children from 18 months)

Language

• Show the animal tags one by one.
• Ask the child if he knows the name of the animal.
• Name the animal; describe it physically: “the giraffe has a long neck”, “the lion has a beautiful mane”, etc.
• Imitate the sound of the animal and invite the child to repeat.

Observation

• Show and explain to the child that there are pairs.
• Depending on the age of the child, use some or all the cards.
• Spread out the cards and invite the child to find the pairs. For example, take out the butterfly, and look for the other butterfly with him.
• When the child has formed a pair, applaud him, congratulate him. Encourage it and start again.

Play along with the child (Children from 36 months) 

• This game is played by at least 2 people.
• You can use all or part of the game, but make sure you have pairs.
• Shuffle the cards. Then, lay them face down or against the table (no player should be able to identify them).
• The first player returns 2 cards of their choice.
• If the cards are identical, the player keeps them next to him and plays again.
• If the cards are not identical, the player turns them face down again. It is then up to the next player to play.
• The game ends once all pairs have been found.
• The winner is the one with the most pairs.
• Praise, applaud, encourage all children playing!
