Word memory

How does it work:

This game works the same as any other memory games, except for the fact that you're not looking for 2 identical pictures. You are looking for a word and a picture. For example, the word cat and the picture cat are a match. The rules of the game stay the same. Lay all the cards out with the pictures / words facing down. Take turns in turning 2 cards. After every turn without a match you turn the pictures back to their original position. If you do have a match you get to go again. The winner is the person with the most matches.

Extra tips and suggestions:

Print out the memory cards twice if you only want to use the pictures, or words.
A child can play this game alone by simply laying all the cards on the table facing upwards and matching the words with the pictures.
Mix two word memories together to make the game more difficult.
After cutting out the pictures it would be wise if you used a coloured piece of paper, otherwise the pictures and words might be seen through the paper.
