Free Nutcracker Matching Game: Printable Memory Cards
FREE Nutcracker Matching Game: Memory Print Cards with Beautiful Nutcracker Ballet Themed Images. I am thrilled to share these beautiful print cards with you! We started a fun and simple Christmas tradition this year. My girls love watching the Nutcracker. In preparation of our movie night of watching The Nutcracker Ballet, we made paper puppets for storytelling of the ballet (I’ve included the puppet template in the free bundle), enjoyed ice cream, played this Nutcracker matching game, and ended the night dancing in the living room in tutus while watching George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker performed by the New York City Ballet.

How to Print the Free Nutcracker Matching Game Print Cards for Kids?
Print. Cut. Laminate.
The pdf file includes 5 pages with 8 cards on each page. Print the cards at home, local library, or store. Each card has cut lines to help you neatly cut them. Laminate the cards to increase durability and longevity. For at home lamination, you can use self adhesive sheets or contact paper without needing a machine. I have used both and tend to use whatever method I find cheaper.
Ways to Increase Durability and Longevity of The Nutcracker Matching Cards
print on card stock
Cardstock is the preferred choice of paper because it is thicker and cannot be as easily destroyed by little hands.
laminate
Highly recommend laminating the print cards for increased durability. Laminating the cards also allows your child to write on the flash cards with a dry erase marker, take them outdoors, easily wipe off, and use other sensory and hands-on activities while decreasing the risk of tearing.
How can I use free printable memory cards?
Add these memory print cards to December lesson plans, circle time (small group), hands-on learning time, field trip, Christmas study unit, The Nutcracker Ballet Study Unit, and Christmas School for a great way to enhance your kids or students language development and mathematical skills. These cards would make a great addition to your writing center as you introduce new word lists and expand your student’s working memory.
Always supervise your children when playing with printables. Young children could chew on cards which can lead to choking.
