Animal Kids Memory

Why We Picked Animal Kids Memory

Cards face down, animals on the other side, and a pair to find on every turn. That is the entire design, which suits a first memory game for small children and offers little to anyone past that stage. A 3.6 rating across 47 reviews fits a page that does one narrow thing without apologizing for it, and the simplicity is the point rather than a shortcoming.

How to Play

Three things decide whether a run here goes well:

• Turn over two cards at a time and look for matching animals on them.
• Remember where each animal sits, then clear the board pair by pair.
• Start with the corner cards, since those positions are easiest to keep track of.

Editor’s Note

Built for children learning to hold a position in mind, and short enough for that attention span. There is no timer, no score, and nothing to lose by guessing badly, which is the right shape for a first memory game. The page's own numbers: 92 of 172 on the puzzle shelf, 3.6 out of 5 from 47 ratings, and 2,073 plays.
