My son’s favorite games have always focused on using his mind to remember visual or auditory information. I think that is why he loves the card game Spot-It Party Game and the verbal game 20 Questions. Recently we had the opportunity to try out two board games from Blue and Orange that focus on memory. He loved both of them of much I decided to search for more memory games.
Before I share with you some homemade memory games and activities, let me tell you about the board games. Your children will find that one focuses more on strategy and the other has more action.
Store-Bought Memory Games
Gigamons
We have only played the most basic version of this game. Your children may want to start with this level of play. We tried to gather three matching cards from 3×3 cards on the table. When we had three cards with the same creature, we claimed a cardboard Gigamon.
Now that we have done that we need to try the full game. Your children will want to do it too. When you match two Elemon cards, you can do special things. Each of the Gigamons has a special opportunity. Your children might get to block someone from turning over a tile. They might get to trade one of your cards for another player’s cards. They might get to peek at four cards on the table. This is a memory and strategy game that will keep everyone thinking
If your children love memory games, here are some games they will love. All but one can be found on other amazing blogs.
