Memory Matches

free ABC picture cards

Skills: Matching initial consonant sounds with letters, memory  
Supplies: A set of picture and letter cards like this printable set
Players: 2
Object: Make the most matches


To play:

1. Print out our game cards. Laminate (if desired) and cut apart.

2. Shuffle the cards and place them face down on the table in an arrangement of rows and columns.

3. The first player turns over any two cards. If they match, he keeps both cards and takes another turn. If the cards do not match, he places the cards back in their original positions, face down on the table.

4. The second player turns over two cards, trying to remember the positions of the cards already shown so that she can make matches.

5. Play continues until all the matches have been made. If you like, children can count up their matches to see who found the most.

Variation: Kids like to play free ABC games, like this own, on their own!  Instruct your child to follow the same procedures, turning over cards and finding matches, until he has made every match. That's quite an accomplishment for a very young child!

You can also quiz your child. Show him/her the animal cards. Ask him/her to tell you its beginning letter.
