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

Originals are better. by Kristen Heyl (Massachusetts) 4 Stars
October 18, 2009
I am a toddler teacher in a daycare center and bought this game to use with our older 2's who are in need of a cognitive challenge. I only use a couple of sets of the cards at any time and don't expect that a 2 yr. old will be able to play the game the same as a 4,5, or 6 year old could. It is a great game that helps to sharpen memory skills as well as language skills and I think it is a better investment than any computer game ever will be. The only thing is that the cards will eventually get beat up from use but isn't that how you know a game is well loved?

The memory game is fun, it's good value. Nice colorful images on thick card-board. I'd recommend it for age 4-5.

Memory, a great game by B. Fowler (Browns Valley, CA USA) 5 Stars

My 3 year old granddaughter loves this game. I was amazed at how quickly she could remember where the cards were. Her 6 year old sister enjoys playing as well. The three of us play Memory every time they visit. I can't think of a better way to spend time with my grandchildren than playing games, working puzzles and reading books together.

Classic by KimD (GA) 5 Stars
January 11, 2009
This is a classic that can be used in so many ways as a child ages. My grandson is two and is having some problems with his speech / language development. He picks out four or five pictures and carries them around with him. We name the pictures, the colors, and his toys or products in our home that are similar. We go find those things too. We find the matching card and I say, "Look there is another one that is the same. They match!" We have a ton of fun with it. We have started playing the game with just a few cards at a time out. I can add more as he gets older and his attention span increases.
