Autumn Leaves Memory Game

ACTIVITIES

This autumnal printable memory game uses12 different lovely autumn leaves we picked on a walk. It’s a cute brain teasing activity to do on a chilly autumn day. Children will have to pay attention to all the different colors and shapes of the pretty autumn leaves. If you’ve been out collecting leaves, this is a great indoor game to combine with your other autumn leaf activities.

How to make & play

You will need
Papers (We recommend heavy weight, double-sided paper )
Scissors
A good brain

1
Print the pages for the front (page 1 -2) twice so you can have 2 of each card.

2
If you like, print the patterns (page 3) on the back before you cut them out. If your paper is not double-sided or thick enough, you can print the back design on seperate sheets of paper and glue to the back of each card.
It’s designed to look like a pile of autumn leaves, but if you want to use a different design on the back, use your own paper or fabric or browse our scrapbook papers to use instead. Laminate the cards if you like.

3
You can use fewer cards for the small ones and use all 24 cards with 12 styles for a more challenging game.

For more help with how to play, see our main printable memory games page.

More Ideas
You can scan the leaves you’ve collected and make your own autumn leaves collection to create a similar game.

Or collect a pair of leaves from differnt trees, dry them well between books, paste them on to pieces of cut cardboard to make a set of memory game cards with real leaves!

How about making an ‘L is for Leaves’ book using our alphabet activity book?
