Are You My Mother Animal Memory Game
foam craft sheets or cardstock
scissors
pen
The first step is to cut out a pile of rectangles from the foam paper, or from sheets of cardstock. You want to use something that is firm and that you cannot see writing through. Once you have the rectangles cut out, it’s time to think of as many animal mamas and babies as you can think of. Write the name of one mama animal and the matching baby animal on another individual piece of foam paper. Each rectangle will have either a mama or a baby animal written on it. The animals you choose can be familiar or exotic.
Now that the writing is done it’s time to play. Lay the cards out, face down, on the floor, on a table, wherever. Just like a classic memory game the first player flips the cards one at a time and tries to match up the mama animal and baby animal. Whoever has the most matches at the end of the game is the winner!
