Fun spelling helpers

My kids’ school uses the McGraw-Hill Reading Wonders curriculum for spelling lists, and I made a few matching games last year for my 4th-grader to practice his spelling words. At the start of this school year, I decided to fill in the whole elementary school spelling spectrum. Here’s 180 matching games full of spelling words (30 x 6 = 180)!

I thought that we’d be knee-deep into snowmen and Christmas carols by this point in December, but there’s not a holly leaf or a nativity anywhere in sight in the most popular games. Ya bunch of Scrooges!

Makayla Van Fossen has made several games related to the creatures of Harry Potter, and they look really good! Check out her Magical Menagerie Party game and go from there to the others that she’s created. Plus, vocabulary from one of my favorite childhood books, Hatchet by Gary Paulsen, which I read several times as a kid.

LDS or Mormon memory matching games

Many of the polished games here on Match the Memory have been created by me, for the simple reason that I know how to use the site best and that I understand what’s needed to make an interesting and good-looking concentration game.  Because I’m a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (a.k.a. “I’m a Mormon“), a lot of the games that I’ve made have been for my own use in the LDS Church.  I’d like to share some of those games with you.
