Memo – an exciting game for the whole family! It helps children learn to match and compare images on cards and memorize their locations.

game 1. "Find a pair"
Cards are placed face down. Each player takes turns flipping over two cards face up so that other players can see what is on them. If the pictures on the cards are the same, the player takes the cards for themselves and makes the next move. A player can continue playing as long as they find matching cards. If the pictures do not match, the turn goes to the next player, and the player turns the cards back face down.

game 2. "WHAT is missing?"
Choose several unique cards from the deck. Place the cards in front of the players face up. Ask them to name what is depicted on the cards. If the children struggle, name the pictures yourself and ask the children to repeat after you. Give the players time (20–30 seconds) to memorize what is shown on the pictures. Then ask the players to close their eyes, remove one card. When the players open their eyes, ask them to guess which picture is missing. If the children complete the task quickly, complicate it: shuffle the remaining cards or increase their number.

game 3. "Remembering"
Choose 4-6 cards with different pictures from the deck. Set the others aside. First, take 2 cards with different but similar pictures, set the rest aside for the next round of the game. Show the child the picture on 1 card for a few seconds, then remove it and show 2 pictures: the same one and one that is very similar to it. The child must point to or name which picture was shown to them at the beginning.

game 4. "Card Lotto"
Each player must choose from 6 to 12 pairs of cards with the same images, totaling 12 or 24. Players place one card from the pair face down in front of them. The remaining cards are shuffled and placed in the center of the table between all players face down.
Each player takes turns drawing a card from the common pile. If it matches one of the cards in front of them, they place it in front of themselves, turning both face down. If the player does not have such a card, they return it back to the common stack and shuffle the deck.
The game ends when one player picks a pair for each of their cards.

game 5. "Mess"

In this game, you will need additional items.

Gather about 11 or 12 bright simple items (toys, pen, pencil, bookmark, etc.). Arrange them on the table in a semicircle, placing the cards face down in the center between them, shuffle.
Each player can open any two cards in one turn. If the cards match, the player takes both cards for themselves and makes the next move. If the pictures on the turned cards are different, the player makes a "memory note" – placing those cards under or next to the items and tries to remember that spot.

The game ends when all pairs of cards are found.
