The Memory tool lets you create interactive matching games for your students. You can design your own sets with text and images or use ready-made ones. Students play by flipping cards to find matching pairs, making it a fun way to review vocabulary, practice concepts, or just add a playful activity to your lesson.

How it works:

  1. Open the Memory tool.

  2. In Settings, create a new set:

    • Give your game a title.

    • Choose the card type: word/word, word/image, or image/image.

    • Add your own text and images to build pairs.

    • Save the set for later use.

  3. Select the number of cards (for example, 4x4 = 8 pairs).

  4. Decide if students play individually or in teams (up to 4 teams).

  5. Choose how turns work:

    • Get another turn if a pair is found.

    • Always take turns no matter what.

  6. Start the game! Players flip cards to try and match pairs. Points are tracked automatically.

Extra options:

  • Team mascots: Choose fun avatars for each team, or play without mascots.

  • Reset: Restart the game at any time for another round.

💡Tip: Use Memory as a quick review activity. For example, make a set with math problems on one card and solutions on the other, or with vocabulary words and matching pictures. Playing in teams encourages collaboration and adds excitement to practice time.
