This is such an inexpensive craft for your children to make and the great part is that this simple craft turns into a fun game! These instructions provide simple steps on how to make a memory game. A fun activity to keep your children busy on the weekend or over their holiday break. This is a perfect rainy day craft that turns into a fun game that the whole family can enjoy.
To start the instructions on how to make a memory game, let’s first talk about supplies. Here’s what you’ll need for this simple craft:
- thick paper (like cardstock)
- stickers
- scissors
- ruler
- pencil
- tracing paper (optional)
How To Make A Memory Game:
- Using your ruler and pencil, measure out rectangle cards (about the same size of a deck of cards). Use your scissors to cut out the cards.
- Take two identical stickers and place them on two separate cards – you now have your first pair of matching cards!
- Continue this process until you either run out of cards or stickers.
All done! Wasn’t that easy?!
Now you have a fun memory card game to play with your friends and family.
As a fun alternative to stickers, your little ones could also draw pictures on the cards and then use tracing paper to trace that same picture onto a matching card.
