Free Fourth of July Matching Game
This fun game is perfect for kids of all ages at your next fourth of July celebration. I like to laminate each of the printables so that they can be reused over and over again as an easy patriotic-themed game.
When laminated, kids can use scissors to cut out the cards and then match each image with the word. These are perfect for parties or classroom units with a summer theme!
They are also great to use for sight word recognition and practicing fine motor skills. Pair older children with younger kids and have them match pairs of cards together.
The printable sheet can easily be downloaded — scroll to the bottom to grab the free PDF file. These free printable games are for personal use only.
It’s a good idea to print this Fourth of July memory game on cardstock so that it’s more durable.
