How to Set Up the Unicorn Memory Game
This free printable unicorn game is easy to set up and can be used again and again at home, in the classroom, or at a unicorn-themed party.
You’ll need two copies of the printable to make a complete game with 24 matching cards.
- Print the page twice to create 24 memory cards.
- Print on cardstock for extra durability. If you’re using regular printer paper, color the backs with crayons or colored pencils so the pictures don’t show through.
- Cut out each card with scissors or a paper trimmer.
- Laminate the cards if you’d like to use them multiple times.
Scroll to the bottom of the page to download the free PDF. This printable is for personal and classroom use only.
Like our other printable memory games, this activity helps develop visual memory, concentration, and pattern recognition while encouraging screen-free play.
For even more unicorn fun, pair it with a unicorn sensory bottle or one of our unicorn crafts.
How to Play
Once you’ve printed and cut out both sheets, you’ll have 24 cards (12 matching pairs).
- Shuffle the cards and place them face down.
- Arrange them in neat rows for younger children or scatter them randomly to make the game more challenging.
- Players take turns flipping over two cards.
- If the cards match, the player keeps the pair and takes another turn.
- If they don’t match, turn them back over and let the next player try.
- The player with the most pairs wins.
This unicorn matching game is great for two or more players, but it’s just as much fun as a solo activity for building memory and concentration.
