How to Play
Print two copies of the Hanukkah memory game on regular letter-sized paper in portrait orientation. The printable is free for personal and classroom use, and you can get the PDF at the bottom of this post.
We like to decorate the backs of our cards before cutting them out. Trim away the outer border, then grab some coloring pens and get creative.
Cut out all 24 cards using scissors or a paper cutter. I prefer a paper cutter because it’s quicker and gives you neater edges.
Shuffle the cards and place them face down on the table. I find four rows of six work well, but you can spread them out randomly for an extra challenge.
Take turns flipping over two cards. If they match, keep the pair. If not, turn them face down again and try to remember where they are.
Keep playing until all 12 pairs have been found. Whoever collects the most pairs wins!
For younger children, start with six pairs and add more as their confidence grows.
