A fun Christmas matching game that encourages memory, concentration and friendly competition!
Use the printable Christmas pictures provided to create a festive memory game for residents to enjoy together.
Materials
- Christmas picture printables (provided)
- Printer and scissors
- Display board
- Pins or reusable adhesive
Preparation
- Print two copies of each of the 10 Christmas pictures to make 20 cards (10 matching pairs).
- Cut out the pictures and shuffle them.
- Number the back of each card from 1 to 20.
- Attach the cards face down to a display board, with the numbers visible.
How to Play
- Invite a resident to choose two numbers.
- Turn over the corresponding cards for everyone to see.
- If the pictures match, the resident scores one point and the pair is removed.
- If they don't match, turn the cards face down again in the same positions.
- Continue taking turns until all pairs have been found.
- The resident with the most matching pairs wins!
Tip: For an easier game, start with just 5 pairs. Residents can also work together to find all the matches without keeping score.
