What You Need to Make This Thanksgiving Memory Game

Free Printable Game Cards (see below)
Cardstock Paper
Scissors or Paper Cutter (I love my Cricut Paper Trimmer!)

That’s it! This Thanksgiving Memory game is super simple to make and tons of fun to play! Just download the free printable, print these memory cards out in color, and cut each card out. I recommend using a heavier weight paper so that you can’t see through the cards when they are laying face down.

How to Play Thanksgiving Memory

Get ready for Thanksgiving dinner by remembering where the cards are for the pumpkin pie, squash, cornucopia, turkey, and more! Each person takes turns flipping two cards over. If they match, you get to keep the pair and take another turn. If they don’t match, flip them back over, and try to remember what and where they were for your next turn.

The person who collects the most cards at the end wins! There are 12 pairs total, all Thanksgiving themed and all totally cute!

This Thanksgiving memory game is also great for a fall playdate, a quiet indoor classroom game, and even a fun activity leading up to Thanksgiving day!
