How to play the Halloween matching game:

The great thing about this game is that it is easy enough for young kids to play while still being enjoyable for older kids and adults.

First print out the matching cards (the download link is located at the bottom of this post).

Next, cut along the dotted lines to separate the 32 cards.

Shuffle the cards and place them face down on a table in a grid pattern.

To play, each person will take turns flipping over two cards at a time, trying to find a matching pair.

If someone finds a match, they get to keep the cards for their pile. If no match is found, they turn both cards back over and then it is the next players turn.

The game continues until all matches are found. The player with the most pairs at the end, wins!

Favorite Supplies:

These are a few of my favorite supplies that I use and LOVE!

• White Cardstock: For most projects, I recommend printing onto cardstock. It is much more durable than standard printer paper and often produces a higher quality print.
• Crayons: A staple in any crafting household. Crayola is always the top notch choice!
• Kid Friendly Safety Scissors: These are perfect for little kids learning how to use scissors. They cut paper but not fingers or hair!
• Glue Sticks: These disappearing purple glue sticks are by far my favorite! I love buying them in bulk since we use them so often!
• Lamination Machine: Laminating printables are a great way to make them last longer. If you are planning on laminating to make games reusable, be sure to get a bunch of dry erase markers as well.
• Dry Erase Pockets: Dry erase pockets are a great alternative to using a lamination machine when wanting to make printable games and activities reusable.
• Printer: A high quality printer is always recommended for the best results. If you are in need of a printer this Brother Wireless Printer is a great choice.

Free Printable Halloween Matching Game

This activity was designed to be printed onto two 8.5×11 inch pieces of white printer paper. For best results I would highly recommend printing on cardstock so the design on the front doesn’t show when turned over.

I would also recommend laminating the cards to further improve their durability. This will ensure you are able to play this game over and over without the cards bending.

Please feel free to download and print as many copies of the game as you would like. However, you are not permitted to edit or redistribute the files. This activity was created for personal use only.
