Implementation
Rules
1. First participant turns over two cards.
2. If they match, participant puts the cards aside in their pile of matched cards and then repeats the process.
3. If they don’t match, participant flips cards back over and the next player takes their turn.
4. The game ends when all cards have been matched.
Accessibility Considerations
- Staff can prepare the memory game cards ahead of time or choose to make a few premade decks.
- Print on 8.5” x 14” cardstock if possible.
- Attach something to the back of the card to make it easier to pick up, such as
- small ball of clay or playdough
- foam sticker
- jewel sticker
- googly eye
- Use the working file to customize the size of your cards.
- Each alphabet braille cell is a separate image file. The alphabet letters below the cards are in a text box and not part of the card image, so you’ll have to adjust those as well.
