Matching Game

Did you enjoy playing

memory/matching card games

as a kid? I made a version using

vintage images, to play with

my two.  Just print 2 pages with

the images below. Cut out and

arrange in rows, with the image

flipped over. Take turns

making matching sets.

Player with the most cards wins.

My 7 year old daughter played this

with me a few days ago.  Before we started,

I asked her to tell me about the pictures. She

recognized a few things, but thought most

looked funny. We talked about how people

lived differently long ago... and thought about

some of the modern conveniences we take

for-granted. Came upstairs tonight to find

her teaching my 5 year old son how to play.

They were entertained while I made supper.
