How to create a Match Up Game


Match Up is an excellent learning tool in the form of a game. In this game students have to match up the image with the correct word, a word and its meaning, or a math problem with the correct answer using a simple drag and drop.

You will see a Pairs tab. Let's keep just six of them. To do this, we have to delete some pairs by clicking Remove button:

Good! For each card you can upload a Text (1), Image (2) or even Audio (3) option:

Adding audio is an amazing feature which can be used to creating games with matching the audio messages to the pictures.

Let’s choose a text and write “orange”, for example. You can also switch (1) background color to another one. Then, just click Save (2):

It's done! For the second card of this pair, let’s pick Add Image option:
