We love a memory game in our house. 

We have several different memory style games that we play often. I love memory as almost all the ages and stages of learning we have can participate in the game in some way. The kids love memory because they almost always win against me. 

Any time I can work in this simple game style, especially into a holiday theme, I will. It gets everyone excited about what is to come, is easy for all to play, and in these Color Your Own Halloween Memory Cards, the kids get to take ownership over the actual cards themselves. 

For a free Halloween printable, it is an overwhelming win.

How To Play 

The only difference in playing Halloween memory from regular memory is that you get to color the cards first. This allows your children to really take ownership over the cards as they get to be the ones to design them!

To set up the game:

1. Print the memory cards (pages 2-5). There are 24 total pairs spread over 4 pages.

2. Cut out the cards and color them in. This is an excellent activity for little hands! These twistable colored pencils make it super easy and eliminate the need for a pencil sharpener. 

3. Optional, but highly recommended: Laminate your cards. I adore my simple and effective laminator. 

To play the game:

1.Mix up the cards.

2.Lay the cards out face down.

3.Player 1 flips over two cards. If the cards are a match, Player 1 keeps the cards. If they are not a match, the Player 1 flips them back over.

4.Continue play until all the matches have been found.

5.The winner has the most matchces!
