Autumn Leaves Memory Game

This autumnal memory game uses 12 different beautiful autumn leaves collected on a walk. A lovely brain-teasing activity for a chilly autumn day — children have to pay attention to all the different colours, shapes and details to find the matching pairs.

How to make and play

1. Print pages 1 and 2 twice so you have 2 of each card.

2. Optionally, print the pattern page on the back before cutting — this gives each card a decorative reverse. If your paper isn't thick enough, print the back design on separate sheets and glue them on.

3. Use fewer pairs for younger children, or all 24 cards for a more challenging game.
