Play a Leaf Memory Game

Collect leaves from trees and shrubs, and use them to play a memory game with a friend.

Materials

Steps

Find Leaves

First, find 8 to 12 pairs of matching leaves. (For example, two oak leaves, two maple leaves, and so on.)

Glue Leaves to Index Cards

Glue or tape each leaf to an index card.

Play the Game

Spread out all the cards face down. Take turns flipping over two cards at a time. If you get a match, you get to keep those cards and take another turn.
The player with the most pairs at the end wins.
