My kids have gotten older, so fun printable games have become less of a norm in our household. I was home, feeling under the weather, and decided that I needed something to occupy my mind, that also could be done from a relaxed position… so I created festive Printable Thanksgiving Memory Cards for kids! If you’ve spent any time around here, you may remember the Easter Memory Game I made several years ago. This game is simple, inexpensive, and fun to play for your children!

How to Play this Card Game

Set up the game but placing the cards face down in a grid pattern.

Players take turns flipping over two cards at a time. If a player gets a matching card, they get to go again. If they do not get a match, it is the next player’s turn. The player with the most matches at the end is the winner!

When gameplay is done, simply stack the cards and store them in a small box or ziplock bag.
