Make your cards: Print single-sided on thick, opaque paper or card. Choose A4 and “Actual size” / 100% for both pages so all cards have the same size. Colour matching pictures the same and cut along the dashed lines. Leave the backs blank. The previews above are the two pages of the same complete-game PDF.
Look for petals, leaves and matching flowers
Flowers Memory turns ten different floral illustrations into a printable matching game. The set includes a sunflower, tulip, rose, daisy, daffodil, orchid, poppy, lotus, hibiscus and bellflower. Each flower drawing appears twice across the two sheets, making twenty cards and ten identical pairs. Colouring the outlines gives children a chance to look closely at each design before trying to remember its position.
Begin by comparing the pictures while they are all visible. Notice broad petals, long stems, leaves, hanging bells and different flower centres. Children do not need to know every flower name to play: a description such as the flower with hanging bells can help identify a card. Introduce names naturally if the child wants to learn more about the pictures.
Choose similar colours for the matching copies, then cut out the equal-sized cards. Once the game begins, look at the whole flower illustration when comparing a pair. Several designs may share colours, so the arrangement of petals and leaves provides another useful clue. Follow the linked rules to take turns, collect identical pairs and return different cards to their original places.
One PDF contains the complete game on two A4 pages, with ten cards per sheet. Open it in a new tab for saving or printing and use thick, opaque paper or card with blank backs. After a round, arrange the cards into a pretend flower display or describe a favourite design together. Keep the set as a small collection that can be brought out for another colouring-inspired game.
