Give us a Match!

We feel like having some fun this Friday, so let’s play a simple matching game! Pamela had the wonderful idea of creating matching cards (a fond childhood memory for her) for Marthe Jocelyn and Nell Jocelyn’s Ones and Twos.

There’s more to this set, but to keep it easier for us, I’ve picked 8 pairs to play with. Here are the cards:

I’ve given each card a coordinate so you can tell me which ones to flip!

To play:

  1. Leave a comment below with your 2 card coordinates.
  2. I will flip them, snap a photo, and update this page.
  3. You can only guess 3 times, so strategize and wait for someone to reveal some of the cards. However, if someone beats you to the punch to a winning match, it won’t count as a guess for you.
  4. The first eight people to find a matching pair will win a copy of Ones and Twos, a set of the matching card game, and the book’s poster. Have fun and good luck!

We’re doing this old school, without flash or any other fancy program!
