Animal Memory
Turn over two cards at a time and find the matching animal friends.
🌱
What your child practices
Visual memory, attention, matching, and friendly turn taking.
🧺
What you need
Printed sheet and scissors. Cardstock makes sturdier cards but is optional.
👐
Get ready
Cut out all cards. Mix them and lay them face down in rows, leaving space between cards.
How to play
- 1The youngest player goes first, then take turns clockwise.
- 2On your turn, turn over any two cards so everyone can see them.
- 3If the animals match, keep the pair and take another turn. If not, turn them face down in the same place.
- 4Keep playing until all pairs are found. The player with the most pairs wins, or work together to find every pair.
Make it easier or trickier: Use just three pairs to begin. For a bigger challenge, add all six pairs and try to remember where each animal lives.
