Christmas Memory Game!

The Silent Night Memory Game

is a great way to talk to your "littles" about

the TRUE MEANING of Christmas.

I was able to use mine for a Primary Sharing Time.

When they got the match...

I had the child read the Story Card
that goes with that picture.

Here's what they look like:

Each of the Memory Game Cards

will have a front and a back.

The back side of all of the cards will have

this picture:

The other side will have two of each of the other pictures

shown below.

This is what the Story Cards look like:

I keep these and when a match is made,

I hand it to the one who got the match to read.

Instructions:

Cards can be printed with a front and back side

and laminated,

or they can be printed and attached to

chipboard using Mod Podge and
a sponge brush to attach them.

You can use a wet erase marker to write

numbers on the stars of the back pieces
when the game is played in Primary.
When you're done...just wipe them off
and start with a fresh set of numbers
every time you play.
