I don't know if you had a little card display game when you were small. I had a fantastic game called Concentration. The idea was that you had to interact with each other and the board in order to remove the covers to see what was underneath.

This image is an overview of the post showing Hidden Secrets as Make learning fun, easy to edit, and add your own content.

This game is my spin on that idea, hiding either a picture, graphic, word, phrase or quote beneath 12 squares. I'm not the boss, so you can play this game however you want to play with whoever you are playing with (family, team, classroom).

What you put underneath the tiles is - up to you.

However your group to earn uncovering spaces is - up to you.

What your group does with what's underneath is - up to you.
