different kinds of parties and celebrations.2. Cut out the cards and stick them onto a card so that each
pupil has a full set (you can also ask your pupils to do thecards themselves).

If they don’t match they must turn them the face down again. The winner is the pupil who gets the most ‘matches’.From Penguin Young Readers Games and Activities Book 1
