How to play domino:

Print one domino set for each of your students or use one set to be used as a center station: The aim is to lay down a card either next to or directly above/below an already-played card that somehow connects to the card that is already there on the table. This is just one possible way to play dominoes.

How to play memory®
At the beginning of the game, all the cards are mixed up and laid in rows, face down on the table.

Player 1 starts and turns over a card and says, what's on the two cards that he or she turned over. If the cards don’t match (it’s not a pair), he or she turns them back over and it’s then the turn of player 2 to turn over two new cards. If the two cards match, it’s a pair! He or she keeps the cards and has the right to play again. When the players have found all the pairs, the game is over. The player who has the most cards wins!
