If I Wrote a Note to God…

Posted in Christian Life

Catch the Match: The Eye-Catching Visual “Pair”-ception Game! Catch the Match is a unique matching game geared towards family members ages 5 and up.  You can play the game with 2 to 8 players.  There are 15 large cards that all contain the same images.  The catch?  Well, the images may be the same, but the colors are not.  Only 1 image will match for each 2 cards.  This fast paced game really tests your observation skills.  For us, we seemed to always end up laughing like crazy as we tried to find the match.  It’s a fun, quick, easy…
