Alphabet Memory Match

Practice pairing upper and lower case letters.

Classic flip two cards over to find a match memory game. I made this for Unit 6 of Let's Try 2, but it can be used for any class that needs to review the alphabet.

Have students pick two numbers, click on them to flip them over, and then click again to flip them back if they are not a match. For more competition, give a point for each match.

I set this up by splitting the class into two teams. Students had to go in turns to answer so that everyone was participating, but teammates could help each other. Typically, if a team gets a match, they can keep answering until they stop getting matches. To avoid any upset, I decided to cap this at two matches in a row, then the other team can have a turn.

Slide 1: A-F
Slide 2: G-L
Slide 3: M-R
Slide 4: S-Z

For a bigger challenge:
Slide 5: A-N
Slide 6: M-Z

For the ultimate challenge:
Slide 7: All letters

A disclaimer, I knew we wouldn't have the time, and my students wouldn't have the attention span, to do slide 7 (we actually didn't have time to finish the first 4), but I had a lot of extra desk warming time, and it was fun to see their reaction to it.
