Dinosaurs are a favorite topic for kids of all ages!
They are so fascinating and come in so many different shapes and sizes, it’s no wonder kids love them!
And what could be better than combining dinosaurs with a fun memory game?
This free printable dinosaur memory game is perfect for young children. It’s great to use at home or in the classroom and will help with visual memory and focus skills.
You can even make it into a learning activity by asking your child questions about each card they turn over while playing. So why not download it today and see how much fun you and your kids can have together!
Also, make sure to look through all of our dinosaur activities for more fun!
Dinosaur Theme Preschool Memory Game
Last week we shared this ocean printable matching game and they were an instant hit!
So many people downloaded them within the first few days, that we knew we had to turn these dinosaur flashcards into a simple matching game.
Because this dinosaur game is for young learners, there are only six sets of game cards.
This means two things for young kids:
- They won’t get overwhelmed with too many choices of cards
- They’ll be able to learn the dinosaurs name much faster than if there were several sets of cards
We think it’s best for preschoolers to play by themselves or with you as a helper. My 3-year-old and I will play together but all I really do is tell him the name of each dinosaur he flips over if he can’t remember it.
Don’t forget you can also use them as plain, old flashcards if you want to.
And, if you’re thinking flashcards are boring, you need to check out this post on fun and creative ways to use flashcards that are hands-on and engaging (seriously, these are so much fun!).
Whichever way you use them, we’re sure your kids will have fun with them!
