Aunt Lynn’s Camping Match Game has been a favorite activity at our family reunions for over 20 years. You play this game like you do most match games but instead of only one winner, everyone that finds a match receives a prize.
To play the game lay the cards face down on a flat surface.
Youngest player goes first.
Players take turns turning over 2 cards at a time.
The cards must be turned over completely so that all players can see them. A player makes a “match” if the two cards turned over are identical. (When printing the cards you will need to make two copies)
When a match is made the player puts the pair of cards beside them and takes the prize associated with that match. (see list below) and the next player takes their turn. We don’t let the person that finds a match continue to make matches until they don’t make a match. That way more people are able to earn prizes.
Examples of prizes for matches include-
Hike- Rocky Road
Logs- Tootsie Roll
Mosquitos- Slap Stick
Mountains- Mounds
You can give a grand prize to the player with the most matches if you want to.
