Forty-eight printable memory match cards make up 24 pairs, and the deck mixes six themes instead of sticking to one. Each theme has four pairs, and every card carries its theme name on a colored band across the top, so after a game the deck sorts itself back into six piles.
What’s on the cards
| Theme | The four pairs |
|---|---|
| Animals | dog, cat, elephant, giraffe |
| Food and snacks | pizza, cupcake, apple, banana |
| Shapes and colors | blue square, green triangle, red heart, yellow star |
| Everyday items | watch, coffee cup, book, pencil |
| Seasons and holidays | candy cane, pumpkin, blossom, beach umbrella |
| Hobbies and play | guitar, paint palette, camera, soccer ball |
Each card shows a picture in a circle with its name underneath, so the name can be read aloud but no reading is needed to play. The cards are about 2.3 inches (5.8 cm) square, 12 to a page, and the card file prints each design twice across four pages.
Five games with one deck
Besides classic memory, the instructions describe Go Fish, a timed speed match with every card face up, a memory walk where players study six to eight pairs and then call them out, and a half match played with the blank cards cut in two. They also suggest how many pairs to put out: four to six face up for ages 2 to 4, ten to twelve for ages 5 to 10, and all 24 from 11 up. For older adults they suggest six to eight pairs of the most familiar themes, printed at 120% for bigger cards. The score sheet has rows for ten players and four rounds.
Printing
Every file comes in full color and in an ink-saver version, where the colored bands and circles turn gray. Card stock is worth using, since memory cards get handled a lot. The card backs are optional and only needed if you print double-sided. The Letter and A4 files print cards the same size, so a deck can mix both.
