Kids Memory Games

Our kids memory games are a great way to build recall skills in your child or students. Our games are easy-to-use and fun to play. Try the ones here, then use our ideas to create more fun memory games of your own!

The Big Picture

Try one or both of these variations of fun kids memory games. One child can play these with adult supervision, or groups of students can play them in the classroom.

Either way, kids are getting some great practice with memory skills. (Adults may want to try this challenging game, too!)
