A visual challenge in the shape of a quartet game

Adults and children practicing to understand how images are constructed and how they transmit ideas is a crucial fun activity. My Photography Game is a family card game for identifying how photographs, paintings and illustrations are made.

Look carefully at the images and ask yourself what you see: the types of lines, positions, groups, colors… What do you think the painter/ artist wanted to show or express? How does this image make you feel?

Ages: 7 to 99 | 1 to 6 players.

How to play: Hand a theme pink card to each player. Place the image cards one by one on the table. The players have to recognize if the image belongs to their card. After collecting a quartet, all players stop, check if the quartet is correct, and the player gets a new pink card or goes on. The winner is the player with more quartets. Afterwards, all players choose a favorite theme and take a photograph adding it up.
