How do you play a color matching game

Make or purchase as many as 36 cards and place the different colors on them with either markers or crayons. If one uses 36 cards, one can make two pairs of nine different colors. If one uses only 18, one can make one pair of nine colors. Shuffle the cards and lay them color side down. Taking turns, flip two cards. If the colors match, remove the cards. If they don't match, return them face down. After all the cards have been "won", count the score...one point for each pair. This game has been called "Concentration" or "Memory". Milton Bradley makes this game in various editions for children in the United States.
