Board Game - Memo. Kittens

The card game – memo "Kittens" – is a great option to have fun and spend time wisely:
- 50 colorful cards (25 pairs) with funny animals and interesting objects;
- 5 game variations: "Find a pair", "What's missing?", "Remembering", "Card Lotto", "Chaos";
- a booklet with game rules;
- great memory training.

Memo is an entertaining game for the whole family! With its help, the child will learn to match and compare images on the cards, as well as remember their placement.

GAME 1. "FIND A PAIR"
Cards are placed face down. Each player takes turns flipping over two cards face up so that other players can see what is depicted on them. If the pictures on the cards are the same, the player takes the cards for themselves and makes the next move. The player can continue playing as long as they find matching cards. If the pictures do not match, the turn goes to the next player. The player then flips the cards back face down.

GAME 2. "WHAT'S MISSING?"
Select several non-repeating cards from the deck. Place the cards before the players face up. Ask them to name what is depicted on the cards. If the children struggle, name the pictures yourself and ask the children to repeat after you. Give the players time (20–30 seconds) to memorize what is on the pictures. Next, ask the players to close their eyes, remove one card. When the players open their eyes, ask them to guess which picture is missing. If the children complete the task quickly, make it harder: shuffle the remaining cards or increase their number.

GAME 3. "REMEMBERING"
Select 4-6 cards with different pictures from the deck. Set the others aside. First, take 2 cards with different, but similar pictures, and set the others aside for the next round of the game. Show the child the picture on 1 card for a few seconds, then remove it and show 2 pictures: the same one and one very similar to it. The child should either point out or name which picture they were shown at the beginning.

GAME 4. "CARD LOTTO"
Each player must choose from 6 to 12 pairs of cards with the same images, with a total of 12 or 24 cards. Players place one card from the pair face down in front of themselves. The remaining cards are shuffled and placed in the center of the table between all players face down.

Each player takes turns drawing a card from the common stack. If it matches one of the cards in front of them, they place it in front of themselves, turning both face down. If the player does not have such a card, they return it to the common stack and shuffle the deck.

The game ends when one of the players picks up a pair for each of their cards.

GAME 5. "CHAOS"
In this game, you will need additional items.
Gather about 11 or 12 bright simple items (toy, pen, pencil, bookmark, etc.). Arrange them on the table in a semicircle, placing the cards face down in the center between them, shuffled.

Each player can flip any two cards in one turn. If the cards match, the player takes both cards for themselves and makes the next move. If the pictures on the flipped cards are different, the player makes a "memory note" – places those cards under the items or next to them and tries to remember that spot.

The game ends when all paired cards have been found.
