Frequently asked questions
How do I assemble the cards?
Print both pages. Back pages onto each other (face + back), glue them, then cut along the grid lines. Or use thick cardstock for the face page only.
What age for memory games?
Simple 8-pair games work well from age 3–4. 12-pair games are suitable from age 5–6.
Can I make the game harder?
Increase the number of pairs (up to 12) for more challenge. Future updates will allow mixing categories.
Do the cards have word labels?
Yes — each face card shows an emoji and its word label, supporting vocabulary development alongside memory skills.
