This will get the children familiar the different pairs and you can talk about the characteristics of the pair's culture and where they may come from. The background color shows if the two pairs go together.
A more challenging and involved way to play is for the children to find the matching pairs and than name the country they are from.

Have a world map handy to find and/or mark the countries found.
