card matching

Find the pairs

Card matching is a memory game where cards are placed face down and players flip pairs, trying to find matches by remembering card locations.

The term also describes any activity involving pairing cards by suit, number, or image: The preschool worksheet had a simple card matching exercise.

In digital contexts, card matching appears in mobile games and cognitive training apps.
