First of all, I found a really cool site called Match the Memory (www.matchthememory.com) It’s a site that lets you make your own match game by uploading your own pictures and captions. You can completely personalize a match game for your someone special, and then send them the link to play their own game. This one is great for kids, parents, spouses, boyfriends/girlfriends, best friends, or anyone else you’d like to treat to this fun Valentine surprise.

I made a game for you to play using photos from Kate’s Adventures. Go ahead and try it out.
