To increase the border size of the table (and make the cards easier to cut up), click the border of the table (you'll see small white squares on the outside of the table), select Table>Table Properties>Table, and then click Borders and Shading. Select the desired border size, and click OK.

To create more than three pairs of matching cards, increase the number of rows you create in the table from three to six, nine, or another multiple of three. (Three cells this size fit across a letter-size piece of paper).

What content should you put in your cells? How about:

• The words and numbers for the numbers 1-10 (i.e. one and 1).
• Sets of small objects and the corresponding numbers (i.e. three small squares and the word three).
• Pictures and the names of the objects in the pictures (i.e. a picture of a boot and the word boot).
• Related objects (i.e. a sock and a shoe, toothbrush and teeth).
• Opposites.

• States and their capitals.
• Spanish words and the English translations.
• Equations and answers.
• Science terms and definitions.

Students in grades 3 and above can create Concentration games for younger students, perhaps for foreign language class or for standardized test prep.
