Directions flashcard memory game
Choose one of the sets of cards below. Lay them face up in a square, in any order. Say the words as you turn then face down. Put the start arrow next to one of the cards and give instructions to your partner on where to go from there. When they reach the card that you chose, say “Stop” and see if your partner(s) can remember what is on the other side of that card. Turn the card over to check. If they are correct, leave the card there face up. If they are wrong, turn it face down to be guessed again later. Take turns doing the same until all the cards have been guessed correctly or your teacher stops the game.
