Sign memory

The classic memory card game with the small pictures is familiar to everyone. And have you ever played so that the participants themselves were the cards? And so that they sign in the meantime? It's time to give it a try!

Description

Live memory game; it’s good to play when there are many in the group.

A participant goes out. The others stand in pairs and the pair discusses a common sign (according to the topic learned). Then the group members mingle in the room. The participant outside comes in and has to find the pairs (like in a card memory game). Who he touches, shows the sign. If the participant has found a match, they sit down, indicating that they are no longer in play.
