God Bless the USA National Parks Memory Game

Description

Learn Geography the Fun Way!

Travel is my favorite way to learn geography. I wish I could visit all 63 US National Parks, and that doesn’t even include national monuments, historic sites, and seashores! If you can’t visit our 63 national parks in person, learning about them with this super-fun Memory Game is the Next Best Thing!

Created to supplement our US geography curriculum series God Bless the USA Exploring States & Territories and the rest of the series, God Bless the USA National Parks Memory Game introduces your children to our diverse national parks.

There are 63 national park memory card pairs (total 126 cards) for your family to enjoy!

Print this file on cardstock double-sided. Cut out memory cards. Laminate for long-term use.

This is a fun game all ages can play together! It’s all about memory so even younger children can win!

Goal of the Game: Collect the Most Pairs.

How to Play:

• Shuffle the cards and lay them face down in rows on the table.
• Youngest player goes first and players take turns in clockwise directions.
• On each turn a player turns over 2 cards, one at a time and if the cards match (like 2 Grand Canyon National Parks), the player keeps them.
• If the players gets a match, he or she gets a second turn.
• If a player doesn’t get a match, he or she turns the cards over and it’s the next player’s turn.
• Players must try to remember where the cards are to get matches. The one with the most pairs is the winner.

There are 64 pairs (total of 128 cards) so you may want to divide up the cards to play. You can divide by state regions or just randomly chose groups of cards to play with together.

This memory game was created to go with our God Bless the USA: Exploring States & Territories and other curricula in the God Bless the USA series.
