Diy family memory game from petit collage

The difficulty level can be altered in accordance with the players’ abilities. It’s a simple game, and the way we play does not make it winning per se. The objective is for each player to reach the final letter of the alphabet by naming the animals for each letter in accordance with certain categories (birds and reptiles, fish, mammals, amphibians, insects, crustaceans, etc.). The majority of the time, we have to assist Little Brother in coming up with the right answer, but Little Brother is able to come up with a few independently each when we play.

Qwirkle

It’s one of the latest favorites! There’s no need to read. Participants have to match shapes and colors to earn points. This is easy for young children while also allowing for a lot of planning for adults and older children. Qwirkle was awarded the Parents Choice Gold Award and was also a Mensa Select National Competition Winner. What’s that about an activity that is based on colors and shapes?

Note that when Little Brother plays with us, We do not keep track of the score. We do congratulate when someone gets the “Qwirkle” by completing a row of six. However, we don’t track the points.

Memory (18 matches)

Everyone has heard of Memory, but did you know there’s an alternative variation of the game with fewer cards than in the traditional version? I stumbled across this version at a book auction and bought it for our library of games to entertain Little Brother throughout Older Brother’s lessons. He loves it. It is also a great way for players to play with each other. This smaller version takes a shorter time and is less stressful for younger kids. Sometimes, the vast grid of cards we have in our standard Memory game can be overwhelming for me!

This may seem obvious, but if you do not have access to a smaller version similar to the one depicted above, you may eliminate a specific number of games from the standard Memory game or even split the game in half.

A wider range of choices for games that require less Memory is perfect for 3-5 year youngsters:

Petit Collage Memory Game, Animals & Babies (12 matches).

Petit Collage Memory Game, Construction Trucks (12 matches).

Eeboo Life in Earth Memory Matching Game (24 matches).

Uno

This one is obvious for many of you, but I was a bit hesitant to think of Uno as a suitable game to play with Little Brother up until Older Brother was introduced to our game. He began playing with his dad. Native Texan at times, but eventually, Little Brother asked to play as well. He may need a bit of assistance, but he is able to be able to play by himself when the entire family is playing together.
