What’s Included in the Halloween Memory Game
The printable includes 12 colorful Halloween pictures featuring witches, monsters, mummies, skeletons, and other spooky characters. Print the page twice to create 24 cards, giving you 12 matching pairs.
It’s an easy, low-prep activity for preschool and elementary kids and works well for classroom parties, family game nights, or a quiet Halloween activity at home.
As kids try to remember where each picture is hiding, they’re also practicing concentration, visual recognition, and short-term memory. Playing with others adds turn-taking and patience too.
How to Prep the Game
You’ll find the free printable memory game at the bottom of this post. Here’s how to get it ready to play:
Print the page twice so you have two copies of each of the 12 Halloween pictures.
Use cardstock for sturdier cards, especially if you plan to use the game more than once.
You can also decorate the backs with patterns, stickers, or color. This makes them more festive and helps stop the pictures from showing through.
Cut out all 24 cards using scissors or a paper cutter.
For a reusable classroom set, laminate the cards to make them more durable.
How to Play the Halloween Matching Game
- Shuffle all 24 cards and place them face down in a 6 x 4 grid.
- Players take turns turning over two cards at a time.
- If the pictures match, the player keeps the pair.
- If they don’t match, turn both cards face down again and move on to the next player.
- Continue until all 12 matching pairs have been found.
- The player with the most pairs at the end wins.
For younger kids, start with fewer matching pairs and add more as they get used to the game. Preschoolers can also use the cards face up for a simpler Halloween matching activity.
