Matching Card Game

A Game that involves Easily Modified Matching Cards and Provides Visual Answers

 Designer:  Christine Brunelle

Client: Karen Mercurio, Brookside Elementary School, Dracut MA 

Abstract  

            The Matching Card Game is a tool that is designed to be used in a kindergarten classroom as an independent learning tool, which allows the students in the classroom to learn by themselves without the aid of the teacher, thus to feel a sense of accomplishment. The goal is to allow the teacher and student to benefit from the freedoms the game allows. This project is intended to be a universal independent learning device that can be modified at the teacher’s discretion.

          The project needs to be user-friendly, interactive, portable, and “smart”, something that she could put down in front of the student with what she wanted the student to learn, such as matching colors, and leave the child alone. The game can be easily modified to do something more complicated than matching colors. It could be used in higher level classes to learn things like multiplication tables. By designing a device that meets all of these needs, the ultimate goal of this project was achieved.
