Family Match Game

Here's a fun game for the kids to play while the Thanksgiving feast is being prepared.
(or any other time of course)



what you'll need:
• patterned paper + cardstock
• 3" circle wood discs
• photos sized to 3" squares
• 2.5" circle punch
• adhesive
• clear plastic paint can (4" across x 3" tall - found at michaels and most craft stores)
• corner rounder punch (optional)
• family match game tag (download here)


for the game pieces:
• punch out your photos and patterned paper using the 2.5" circle punch and adhere to the discs.


for the can:
• cut out three strips of 12" paper. 
• the kraft cardstock is 2.5" wide, green patterned paper is 2" wide and the black patterned paper is about 1.25"
• adhere the strips together and insert inside of the can
• cut out the family match game tag and round the corners, if you choose. then adhere to the front of the can. i used some pop dots to make it stick out a bit.


play like you normally play the match game (or memory).
to add a little more fun, every time you make a match, name something about that person that you're thankful for.

Thanks for sharing. I was just thinking about what I could make the grandkids to share with their parents to play.

What a great idea. I have a whole host of families I can make these for. Thank you for another super fun (& easy) idea!

Love that idea. Might be the perfect thing to put in stockings.

You tap into materials at the craft store that I pass right on by. I love it!

I really wish you would stop with all the giveaways and sponsors and go back to being the craft blog you originally were. I used to really enjoy coming to this blog to get great ideas but now I have to sift through so much stuff I don't enjoy it.

Where did you get your paint can?

Emily  – (November 7, 2012 at 11:04 AM)  

I love this and would like to make it!
What kind of adhesive do you use?
And do you print on regular paper or photo paper?

emily... i just used the herma adhesive. you could also use a double sided tape or glue dots. and the photos were printed on photo paper (at costco, of course) :)

Where did you get the paint can and the coasters?

Barb Elder  – (November 10, 2012 at 11:40 AM)  

Yes where did you get that size paint can? I can find every size but that one.

Did you paint the discs? Except for one they look white in the picture.
