Players: 1 to 6 Ages 5+ 10–20 min Needs 6+ pairs
What you need The cards, cut apart. Each pair is a clue card and its answer card. Three ways to play Memory: shuffle every card face down in a grid. Take turns flipping two. A clue and its answer is a pair: keep it and go again. Otherwise flip them back. Most pairs wins. Pair Fish: deal five cards each and stack the rest. On your turn, ask one player for the match to a card in your hand. If they have it, take it and lay the pair down; if not, draw a card. Most pairs wins. Speed Match: lay all the clue cards face up and race to put each answer card on its clue. Time it, then try to beat your time. Make it easier or harder Use only half the deck for younger players. Play Memory in teams: talk it over before you flip. Sample pages From the “Animal groups and habitats” topic. The PDF also includes the rules and any boards, dice or answer keys.
