Educational toy Turtle and her kids: how to play memory game

Memory Game: Turtle and Mat Color Match

Objective:

Match each turtle’s hidden belly color with the correct mat color by strategically selecting and revealing mats.

Materials Needed:

• 10 turtles, each with a unique belly color (hidden on the underside).
• 10 mats, each with a color matching one of the turtle’s bellies.

Setup:

1. Arrange the Mats:
   • Keep all mats in a stack with colors hidden.
   • Start the game with a few mats (e.g., 3) laid face-up in a row.
2. Arrange the Turtles:
   • Place all turtles belly-side down in a separate area, hiding their belly colors.

Game Instructions:

1. Start the Game:
   • Players take turns selecting one turtle and flipping it over to reveal its belly color.
2. Select a Mat:
   • The player chooses one of the face-up mats to see if it matches the turtle’s belly color.
3. Check for a Match:
   • If the turtle’s belly color matches the mat, the player keeps both as a completed pair and removes them from play.
   • If the colors do not match, the player turns the turtle back belly-side down.
4. Manage the Mats:
   • If a Match is Made:
     • Remove the matched mat from play.
     • Immediately draw a new mat from the stack and place it to maintain the number of visible mats (e.g., always 3 mats).
   • If No Match is Made:
     • Leave the mats as they are
5. Continue Playing:
   • The next player takes their turn, selecting another turtle and attempting to make a match.
   • The game continues until all turtles are correctly matched with their mats.
6. Winning the Game:
   • The game ends when all turtles are matched with their corresponding mats.
   • The player with the most matched pairs wins the game.

Variations:

• Fewer Mats Face-Up: Start with fewer face-up mats to make it more challenging and require more memory usage.
