Easter Memory Matching Game

The memory matching game is also called the memory game, the matching game and the matching card game.

This Easter memory matching game consists of 36 pairs of images on cards you print out yourself. The total number of cards is 72, which is 2 cards each of the 36 images.

You can choose how many cards to play the game with depending on the ages and abilities of the players. If you have a shorter period of time, you may choose to purposefully shorten the game by playing with fewer cards.

I recommend that the fewest number of cards be 12, that is two copies of six images. You can choose to play with any number you’d like. Just make sure that you always have two cards of each image.

The cards are shuffled so that the images are in a random sequence.

All the cards are placed in a grid with the images face down. The size of the grid isn’t important, but is most often constructed in the shape of a square or rectangle.

Easy tips to arrange these Easter memory matching game cards:

• One unique page of game cards (two total sheets) should be laid out in a grid of 6 by 4.
• Two unique pages of game cards (four total sheets) should be laid out in a grid of 8 by 6.
• Three unique pages of game cards (six total sheets) should be laid out in a grid of 9 by 8.

The youngest player goes first. Players take turns turning over 2 cards face up in the attempt to match the images. If the two cards don’t match, they are turned face down again and the next player takes a turn. If the cards do match, the player removes the cards from the grid and takes a another turn.

The winner is the person with the most matching pairs at the end of the game.
