A fun Harry Potter themed Memory Game for your little wizards to dual each other or test their minds!
Growing up, Memory was one of my favourite games to challenge myself with. I usually used a boring old deck of cards but this Harry Potter themed set of cards is just WAY more fun!
If you have Harry Potter fans in the house, they will love this adorable set with all their favourite, and maybe some of their least favourite characters, included! From Harry and Ron to Draco and Vold….err….He Who Must Not Be Named, they are all here in this unique Memory game set.
Harry Potter Themed Memory Game
You’ll Need
Coloured Printer
Harry Potter Themed Memory Game Printable
White Cardstock
Scissors
Directions
Print out the Harry Potter Themed Memory Game printable onto white cardstock. You’ll want to use cardstock over regular printer paper both for its sturdiness and because you won’t be able to see through the paper.
If you want a more decorated back of the card, just use patterned cardstock. Trace the game card onto the patterned paper for a cutting guide and glue the patterned backing onto the game card.
How to Play the Harry Potter Memory Game
- Mix up the cards.
- Lay them in rows, face down.
- Turn over any two cards.
- If the two cards match, keep them.
- If they don’t match, turn them back over.
- Remember what was on each card and where it was.
- Watch and remember during the other player’s turn.
- The game is over when all the cards have been matched.
For One Player
You can also play Harry Potter Memory by yourself. Just keep going turning over two cards at a time until you have found all of the matches.
Matching Game Benefits for Kids
Memory and matching games are great for all ages actually, not just kids, but it is a fun game for little ones to play with these added benefits.
