Plants Memory

Description

Wooden plant-themed version of the classic Memory game composed of 28 pieces with 14 pairs of plants and flowers. It also contains identification cards with which you can learn the name of the different plants. Plants Memory is a game for 2 players. The players will pick up tiles 2 by 2 looking for pairs. The player who manages to make more pairs is the winner.

Recommended for ages 3 and up. From the first year they can start to manipulate it.

At first, the child may not follow the rules of the game. But he himself, through free play, begins to create different dynamics from organizing the pieces, stacking, forming series looking for a logic, begin to identify the figures, expand your vocabulary …. And little by little we will begin to introduce the mechanism of the Memory game.

The pieces, made of unvarnished wood, will stimulate the child’s touch and its simplicity will help stimulate their natural creativity. Playing Memory promotes basic cognitive processes such as perception, attention and memory. It helps children focus on an activity and concentrate on what they are doing. It encourages the development of oral language, and leads to the use of new vocabulary in relation to the set of images we use in Memory. It favors the learning of the rules and norms that must be followed to play correctly. It reinforces the acceptance of frustration when children lose.

The first thing to do, after taking out the game pieces, is to put them with the pictures facing down. Make sure you mix them up so that no one knows which is which. Once they are mixed up, decide who the starting player is. Usually the starting player is the younger of the two players playing, but you can draw lots.

Each player, starting with the starting player, will turn over 2 tiles, if he/she manages to discover a pair of matching symbols he/she can keep them for himself/herself as points. Keep playing until you don’t discover a pair. If the symbols you turn over are different, turn them face down and it’s the next player’s turn. The next player repeats the same process: turn 2 tiles, if they are the same, he keeps them as points and continues playing, otherwise it is the other player’s turn. The player who accumulates more pairs once there are no more tiles to turn is the winner.

In the 4-player version, 2 groups of 2 players each are formed. Each player turns over 1 tile, his partner being the player who chooses and turns over the other tile. The rest of the game is the same as the two-player version.
