Rules for Bob the Builder Memory Game

Game Materials

• The Bob the Builder Memory Game is comprised of pairs of matching cards. Each pair of cards is distinguishable from the other pairs by a colorful illustration of a character from the Bob the Builder cartoon.

Game Set Up

• Shuffle the cards. Place all of the cards on a sturdy surface so that the Bob the Builder logo is facing upwards and the individual pictures are hidden from sight. Arrange the cards into straight rows with an even number of cards per row.

Capturing Cards

• Player one selects any 2 random cards and flips them over so that all players are able to see the illustrations on the other side. If the illustrations on the cards match, the player keeps the cards and repeats the step. If the illustrations on the cards do not match, the cards are turned back over so that the game logo is facing upwards and are then returned to their original resting spots in the organized rows. If a player does not locate a matching pair of cards, his turn is over and the next player repeats this step.

Declaring a Winner

• Once all cards have been removed from the rows, the players count the number of cards that they were able to keep. The winner of the game is the individual that has earned the most cards.

Benefits of Memory Game

• The Bob the Builder Memory Game is a way for preschool children to learn to recognize similarities and differences among objects. Concepts such as patterns, colors and shapes can be developed while playing as well. It is a great game to teach children to take turns as well as to learn how to play cooperatively with others.
