How to play the Thanksgiving matching game

Printable memory games are super easy to play, making it a great addition to any Thanksgiving party!

How to print

Grab your Thanksgiving memory cards below. There is one page included with 12 different fall-themed images.

This Thanksgiving printable game is free to print but is for personal or classroom use only. Scroll to the bottom of the page to get the pdf file.

You will need to print the page twice, so you can match the images.

We like to decorate the back of the images. So cut around the edge so you are just left with the 12 images.

Then grab your coloring pens (these are the ones we love and use all the time) and have fun.

When you have printed the 2 pages, you will need to cut out all of the different images. I prefer to use a paper cutter as it’s easier, quicker, and more accurate, but scissors will work too.

Now you will have two sets of 12 images (so 24 total images.)

You will also love free printable Thanksgiving bingo printable cards.

How to play

Shuffle the cards up and lay them on the table face down in rows to make it easier. Or just randomly on the table for older kids.

If you are placing them in rows I find 4 rows with 6 images each works best for younger kids.

Playing the game is simple. Take it in turn to turn over only 2 images.

If it is a match you can either remove them from the game and place them in front of you or leave them turned over face up.

If you did not find a matching pair then just return the cards upside down and continue playing.

The winner is the person who creates the most matches. Celebrate the winner with a Thanksgiving sticker.

Best Thanksgiving picture books to share

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite times to curl up with a cozy book, and these Thanksgiving picture books bring extra joy to our holiday season:

• Balloons over Broadway tells the amazing story of Tony Sarg, the creative mind who brought the iconic Macy’s Parade balloons to life. This one always makes us marvel at the parade’s magic and how one person’s creativity can inspire so many.
• I am Thankful is a sweet reminder for kids (and parents!) to find gratitude in everyday moments. As we read it, it sparks great conversations about what we’re thankful for—and sometimes, it’s those small things that matter most.
• How to Catch a Turkey has us laughing every time! With turkeys outsmarting a determined Thanksgiving hunter, it’s a playful, lighthearted read that brings a little silliness to our Thanksgiving tradition.
