Christmas Nativity Matching Game Cards

The matching game set includes 15 different nativity related pictures to match (30 matching cards total) – including the angel, Mary, Joseph, baby Jesus, the Christmas star and the stable.

How to Play the Memory Matching Game

Shuffle the prepared cards well and spread them face down across the table.

Players take turns to turn over two cards, searching for a matching pairs of pictures.

If the cards selected are a match, the player keeps the matching pair and takes another turn. If they are not the same, the cards are turned back over in the same location and play moves to the next player.

Once all cards have been matched, the player with the most matching card pairs wins the game.
