How Our Christmas Memory Game Came to Be

All of my boys love playing memory games with me. They especially enjoy memory games for kids with special themes related to a movie or television show.

Recently, I was playing this Toy Story Memory Game with my three younger boys. They wanted to play a game and I was tired from a long day of homeschooling and shuttling older boys to and from soccer. I pulled out this memory game for easy interactive fun.

As we were cheering each other on, I thought it would be awesome to have a Christmas version to enjoy during the holiday season. All of the holiday hustle and bustle usually leaves me drained, but I still want to share special moments with my boys.

I added this Christmas memory game printable to my to-do list. I love creating printables, especially learning activities to use with my boys.

When I printed out these memory game cards, my boys couldn't wait to start playing. They love all things Christmas and don't care what time of year it is.

I'm so glad to have this simple, open-and-go Christmas game to play with my boys. It's perfect for when you don't have a lot of time or energy but still want to have fun!

Why Memory Games for Kids Are Excellent Activities

Did you know that memory games are fantastic activities for kids? These games might look simple, but they also have some great educational benefits:

• Concentration - Kids learn to focus their attention on specific details and maintain focus throughout a task
• Attention span - Regular practice with memory games helps extend a child's ability to stay engaged in activities
• Differentiation - Kids develop skills in identifying similarities and differences between images
• Visual memory - The game strengthens their ability to remember and recall visual information
• Self-awareness - Players learn to monitor their own thinking
• Self-confidence - Success in finding matches builds confidence in their own problem-solving skills
• Problem-solving skills - Children develop strategies for remembering card location and making matches

I love how my boys talk through their solution-focused strategies. They really have to pay attention to make sure they make the match.

Also, memory games are fabulous ways to practice growth mindset skills for dealing with challenges, patience, and perseverance.

Creative Ways to Boost the Fun

Take this interactive Christmas game to the next level with these fun ideas:

• Play Christmas music in the background. Here's a list of Top Kids Christmas Party Songs to help you set the holiday mood.
• Have small prizes to award to the winner of each round. You don't need anything expensive or fancy. Christmas mini-erasers, pencils, stickers, and stamps are fun little prizes that your kids can use for their holiday school work.
• Make it more challenging! When a player makes a match, they need to do ______. Some fun ideas are to use hands for antlers and do a reindeer dance. Or act out wrapping a present. Even something simple like clapping your hands three times.
• Try different game variations. Hide the cards around the room or your home. Players must find the cards and make a match. This is a great way to help kids burn off all that holiday energy.
