To prep: Print the solar system matching game on the white side of the scrapbook paper (or on card stock), laminate and cut apart the cards.

To play: In case you haven’t played Memory before, you turn over two cards at the same time. If they match, you get to keep them and turn over another set of trees to try again.

If they don’t match you turn them back over and it becomes the next person’s turn. Play continues until the cards have all been matched.

Extend your learning: You can also use the cards to make a “number line” of the planets. Place the ordinal numbers in order and then match the planets to the correct number.

For fun, match up the planets and numbers. Then, have your child close their eyes. Remove one of the planet cards and see if your child can identify the missing planets.
