Do you have a specific question? Please contact us. We can only respond to questions in English.
How long does it take to play one game?
Answer from the game creator.
Depending on the number of players, each game usually lasts around 10 minutes. Up to 7 people can play but the playtime is still around 10 minutes. If you increase the number of picture cards each player has (no more than 7) then the game can last around 15-20 minutes.
How long does it take to set up?
Answer from the game creator.
The game is really simple to set up. When you first receive your game it is important to shuffle the cards a few times in order to make sure they are nice and mixed up. You then just deal out the picture cards to each player and place the description cards in the middle of the play area. So it should take less then a minute to set up.
Can kids play this game on their own?
Answer from the game creator.
The short answer is yes. The game is designed to be simple and easy to learn. If kids have trouble reading then it might take some help from an adult to be able to play. We recommend playing a few times with your young child so that they can learn the game and you can help them read words that they can't. This game is a great way to encourage kids to learn how to read.

How can you use this game in the classroom?
Answer from the game creator.
This game was designed in an English learning environment. It is perfect for teachers of elementary-aged students and helps teach foundational vocabulary that helps children gain confidence in reading comprehension. If your students are not native speakers of English, then we recommend taking a few weeks using the picture cards as flashcards to teach them the vocabulary. There are 124 pictures in total. When it comes time to play the game, make sure the kids understand the cards they have in their hands. If kids don't know how to read a particular word they then can ask you for clarification. It doesn't take long for kids to learn all the words.
Another challenge for kids who can't read is having them read out loud the description cards. In this case, you as the teacher, can step in and read the DESCRIPTION cards on their behalf. The students still take turns drawing the description cards, but you will read the cards.
If your students can read, then they will play the game as the instruction manual says.
A huge reason why this game was created was to allow students to utilize the language they learn in the classroom in a fun and practical way. When a student puts down a good match you can sense their feeling of accomplishment. When a student puts down a hilarious match such as matching "toilet" with the "It's stinky" DESCRIPTION card it creates unforgettable moments of laughter.
This game is also great for use in native-level educational institutes such as Elementary schools, International schools, junior high schools, and so on. We offer a discount for bulk orders so please contact us if you'd like to use the game in your classroom.
