About the translation matching game
Choose a language and theme (greetings, numbers, colours, family, food, animals, days or school) and match each word to its English meaning. Switch to memory mode once you know the words, so you have to remember where each card is too.

Frequently asked questions
Can I make a game for another language?
Yes. Choose “My own pairs” and type “word - meaning” lines in any language your device can display.
Can I print the cards?
Yes. “Download cards PDF” prints every pair in the translation matching game as cut-out cards, 20 per A4 page.
Does it work on phones and classroom screens?
Yes. Cards resize to the screen and are big enough to tap; on a projector, students can take turns to pick.
How do memory and matching modes differ?
In memory mode cards start face down and you remember where they are; in matching mode they’re face up, so it’s purely about knowing the answer.
Is anything saved or shared?
No. The game runs in your browser and nothing you type or play is stored or sent anywhere.
