Animal Memory Match

NZTC’s Animal Memory Match is a vibrant educational tool designed to spark curiosity and enhance early learning for tamariki. Through playful matching games, children develop cognitive skills, enrich language, and build social bonds.

ECE kaiako seamlessly weave the cards into daily routines, fostering engagement and learning inspired by Te Whāriki.
