DIY Memory Game for Kids

Baby/Toddler Activities

We adore a game for kids that sneaks in learning, too.

Since my house is already drowning in plastic eggs, I wanted to come up with a fun DIY game to utilize those blasted plastic eggs that are so prevalent during Spring (Okay, I secretly love those eggs…sometimes).  Instead of doing an egg scavenger hunt, we hid objects underneath the eggs to make a “Memory” Easter game for kids!

If you’ve gotten rid of all of your plastic eggs from last year, never fear. You could easily do this game with cups instead.

For younger kids, put matching snacks underneath the eggs instead of small trinkets.

Materials for Easter Game for Kids

  • Plastic Eggs
  • Pairs of small objects from around the house. We used beads, small jewels, googly eyes, and other little things we found. (or you can use small snacks)

Cover each object with half of a plastic egg.  Move the plastic eggs around so that you don’t remember where they are hidden.

Fun game for kids to play that they can set up on their own.

How to Play Easter Game for Kids

  • Each person can lift two egg shells during one turn
  • If the object is the same, you get to keep them
  • If they do not match, cover them back up
  • Take turns until all of the matches are found

We LOVED this fun family game.

In fact, we played this game over a dozen times.  We used 8 different pairs so we ended up “tying” the majority of the time.  But, it was still fun.

Bonus: kids can play this game on their own too!

Perfect to play after Easter morning.

If you love family games like we do, hop on over to our Facebook page and share your favorite game on our wall.

    Cool game. I may start putting paperwork under plastic eggs so I learn not to forget about them!

    Just think of all the things you could put underneath the eggs! What an awesome idea! I can’t wait to play this with my little guy. Thanks for sharing the idea at the After School Linky Party.

    What a great idea! I love those plastic eggs, too. I keep buying more and more just because they are so pretty and spring-ish. My girlie is only 14 months but I’m definitely pinning this idea for the future–found you on the No Time For Flashcards link party. Thanks for sharing your idea! 🙂 I’m working on a wreath to use up some of my huge stash of plastic eggs, maybe you’ll wanna try it too? It should be up in the next couple of days– raisingkinley.blogspot.com –come visit sometime 🙂
