Looking for something new for your next family game night? Gather your kids, grab the coloring crayons, and enjoy these three new downloadable activities from Kid Created Games™.

Game 1: Dominoes


Here’s how it works

  1. Download and print this dominoes template
  2. Grab your coloring crayons and color the same picture in the same way so you can match the dominoes when playing games
  3. After coloring, cut out the dominoes
  4. Now, you’re ready to share your game as a gift or to play with friends and family
    1. Note: If your young artists wants to draw their own pictures, make three copies of the blank template

How to use the dominoes

After you’ve colored your dominoes, now the fun really begins.

  • Players: 2-4
  • Turn colored dominoes face down and mix up
  • Each player will draw dominoes, look at them and keep them a secret.
    • 2 players will pull 7 dominoes each
    • 3 players will pull 6 dominoes each
    • 4 players will draw 5 dominoes each
    • The extra dominoes are placed into the draw pile
  • Player 1 places a domino face up in the designated play area (we suggest sitting at a table or using a hard surface)
    • Note: the first domino cannot be a same-picture domino
  • Player 2 adds a domino to one end that matches the picture on the end of the played domino
    • If Player 2 doesn’t have a domino that matches the picture of the one side of the already-played domino, Player 2 will need to draw from the pile. If there are no dominoes in the draw pile, the player must skip their turn.
  • The game will continue until a player has played all their dominoes

Game 2: Memory


Here’s how it works

  1. Download and print this memory template
  2. Grab your coloring crayons and get to work coloring the template
  3. After coloring, cut out the memory cards
  4. Now, you’re ready to share your game as a gift or to play with friends and family
    1. Note: If your young artists wants to draw their own pictures, make two copies of the blank template to create 24 cards. Be sure to draw the same picture on two cards so you have pairs of cards that match

How to play with memory cards

  • Players: 2-4
  • All cards should be spread out face down on a table
  • Taking turns, 2 cards are flipped face up
    • The goal is to turn over pairs of matching cards
  • If a pair is found, the current player wins the pair and plays again
    • If not, cards are turned face down again and the play passes to the next player
  • The player with the most pairs wins the game
