How to Play the Countries and Capitals Memory Game
There are at least two ways to play the game.
SORTING GAME
Mix all the cards thoroughly face up, then look through them, finding the matching pairs. This is a good activity for introducing the flags, countries, and capitals topic to the youngest crowd.
MATCHING MEMORY GAME
Place the cards in a rectangular grid on a table. Players take turns temporarily revealing two cards from the grid, trying to match a country card with the corresponding capital card. The flag symbols will help to find a successful match! The player who makes the match gets to keep the cards. If a player keeps a pair of cards, they can reveal two more cards. If the cards they reveal do not match, it is the next player’s turn.
Whoever has the most cards at the end of the game wins.
