Who this list is for
This family photo memory game is for 8-year-olds making a 12-pair matching game with family-approved photo printouts or drawings. It includes a small cardstock envelope to keep the finished cards together.
How to use this list
Choose the 24 approved photo pairs first, or prepare matching drawings. Use a ruler and pencil to mark even card sizes on white cardstock, then cut with child-safe scissors. Glue each pair to matching cardstock pieces and use patterned scrapbook paper for consistent card backs. Add clear self-adhesive laminating sheets after the glue is dry. Use alphabet stickers, index cards, and a fine-tip black marker to label the cardstock envelope.
Common mistakes
Do not use photos without family approval. Keep the pair images clearly matched and the card backs identical so the game is fair. Apply laminating sheets slowly to avoid bubbles, and trim only after the adhesive is firmly pressed down. Avoid making cards too large to fit in the envelope.
