Editorial Review

Children learn about taking turns and matchmaking in this game as they try to make pairs of elated elephants, panting puppies, smiling suns, and other familiar objects. The 72 (cardboard) cards have lively, colorful drawings that make them easy to remember and a tray for storing them. Played alone, Original Memory is a quiet activity for developing concentration and memory. With more players, it's even more of a memory challenge to remember where the cards are that have already been turned over. And you have to wait your turn, which is sometimes harder than anything. The printed rules in the box set the tone for this child-friendly game: the youngest player always goes first. --Lynne Sampson

My daughter just turned two, so she is too young to use it as a memory game. She likes to match the cards when they are faces up. I break it down to 9 pairs at a time so it is not too overwhelming.

This is a great game for any preschool child. My two youngest children love to play it.

I got this for my 2.5 year old son because I remember having so much fun with it when I was a child. The pictures have gotten much better. My son is a little young to actually play the game yet, but we have fun finding the different pictures in the pile...plus working on vocabulary. Whoever designed the pictures, must have toddlers, because they are all pictures they are interested in like pizza, cookies, dinosaurs, puppies, monkeys, etc. Very durable for carboard.

This is a great game for kids (and not too boring for the adults). It is one of the most scalable games. You can make the game about any length by getting out fewer matches. My only complaint is that the tray should have square holes so the pieces go in both ways. (They are rectangles like the pieces so the pieces don't lay flat if they are sideways.) This would make the clean up much easier for the little ones.
