This can be very tricky at times, but if it gets easy for your child just add more pairs of cards to your deck to add more difficulty. I let the kids analyze the cards for a bit then I stack the deck back up and they use their deck to make the sequence of cards that I made. Memory: For this memory game I take 8 pairs of cards that match from the Old Maid deck, split them up into two decks making sure that there are no pairs in each deck, then I place one of the decks in a particular sequence. Be sure to remove the Old Maid once it’s been found.Ģ. Play w/ Old Maid Card: If a player turns the Old Maid over they get an extra turn that round. Matching: We shuffle our cards, spread them face down then take turns flipping over 2 cards at a time trying to find a match. Here are 5 different ways we play with them at our house:ġ.
Truth is… we have NEVER actually played Old Maid with them. We love getting out our deck of Old Maid cards and just playing with them.
