This is a fully editable A4 version of the memory game. The front of the memory cards are all the same pattern and help to obscure what is on the other side. When I use this in class I have those plastic A4 folders that I insert the memory cards into. It helps keep them in one piece and means that you don’t need to print the covers every time, just insert the new words. In fact, I don’t even bother to take the old memory cards out, they’ve just built up in there over time. If you’re not aware of how to play the game, the basic idea is this… Split the class into at least 2 teams. I usually have them sit in a line either side of the grid of cards. That way they can take turns in pairs down the line and other team members can try and remember the location of the previous cards. The pair then turns over two of the cards, leaving them in place, so both teams can see what they are. If they are a pair then they take them with them as one point. If they aren’t a pair, then they turn them over and its the next teams turn. Here are some ideas of how you can use the giant memory game in class: a) Matching words with their definition. b) Joining up parts of a word or sentence. c) Calculations and their answer, for example a particular times table. d) Verbs and their past tense form. e) Labels and their respective picture. *The example I’ve used in this upload is of adult and baby names for different animals. * There are so many ways you can use this game and you don’t even have to limit yourself to pairs. It could be a set of three that has to be found. Like many things, this potential of this game is only limited by the range of your creativity! The children love it and it also helps to reinforce content, encourages teamwork, as well as improving memory and paying attention.

This colourful A3 board game is fully editable. You can change the contents of any of any square on the board. This particular version of the game is called, ‘The End of the Beginning’, as each space either has the start of a word or the end of one. When children land on a space they have to give an example word and spell it. To add difficulty you could also ask them to use it in context. There are so many other ways you an adapt this for different lessons. Here are a few more examples… a) Maths Write calculations in each box for the children to solve b) Reading Write tricky phonics words for children to work on their pronunciation or you could also have the children use the word in context in a sentence or explain its definition etc. c) Science Write questions relating to your topic in the box, or add in question spaces where children have to pick up a card with a question on. You could even get the class to create their own question cards. All you need for the game is a dice and between 2-5 players. Each of the ideas above follow the same style game play. That is, if you are able to solve the problems or read the words in the space you land on, then you are able to remain there. If not, then you go back to where you were before you rolled. You can also get creative and add in your own special spaces such as miss a go or roll again. Or you can get really creative and add in special reasons. For example, you helped a friend in need, move forward four spaces, or you fell off your bike and broke your head, miss a go. etc.
