2. If the two cards are a match (have the same kupu and picture) then the player gets to keep the cards, and that player gets another turn.�
3. When a player turns over two cards that do not match, those cards are turned face down again (in the same place) and it becomes the next player’s turn.�
4. The person with the most pairs at the end of the game wins.

Flashcards

• Find a buddy�
• Have your buddy shuffle the cards and then hold the stack, facing towards themself.�
• You buddy will say either the english name for a word (that is on the card facing them), you should say what the word is in Te Reo. Or they could say the Te Reo word and you will say what it is in English.�
• If you get it right, then you get the card. If you get it wrong, it goes back into the pile.
