Benefits of Memory Games for Kids
Memory games are a fun way to test your memory and challenge your kid’s brain.
Memory games help them learn to retain information and they’re a great alternative to the standard study methods.
Memory exercises not only help increase memory skills but can also help prevent cognitive decline later in life. It’s a fun game that you’ll feel good about having them play.
Christmas Matching Cards
We created this little printable matching game ourselves. We included these adorable Christmas characters that my kids just fell in love with.
It includes all the favorites including Santa claus, Reindeer, a Christmas tree, cute little forest animals decked out for the holidays.
How to Use the Printable Christmas Matching Cards
To use our printable cards, simply download and print all the pages of the matching game. They all have adorable Christmas characters on each card.
Once they are printed, we suggest using a laminator to laminate the cards. However, you don’t have to. The game will still work regardless.
Then cut out each square card.
Playing the Matching Memory Game
Once you are all ready to play and your Christmas cards are cut out, turn each card over face down and line up the cards in rows.
Since there are 28 cards, we usually line them up with 7 columns and 4 rows.
But you can set yours up in whatever shape you desire.
You could even create a fun Christmas tree shape with the cards for a fun twist.
Then each child starts by picking a card and turning over while leaving it in it’s place.
Then they guess where the other card may be and turn that one over.
If they are a match, they get to pick the pair up and keep the two cards in their pile.
If they aren’t a match they have to flip the cards back over leaving them in place.
After a few turns they should start remembering where the different cards are and will be able to create matches easier.
If you are playing with little ones, I suggest using only half the cards, just making sure that they all have a matching pair.
It’ll be easier for them to remember where the pairs are without getting overwhelmed by the large amount of cards.
