Rock and Mineral Concentration
Instructions
- With up to three other players, play the card game Rock and Mineral Concentration. This set of cards has 25 word cards and 25 definition cards, for a total of 50 cards. Before playing the game, match the words to their corresponding definitions.
- Spread the cards upside down on a table so that no cards are on top of each other.
- Player 1 turns over two cards. If the player matches a word card with a definition card, the player keeps the cards and takes another turn. If Player 1 does not have a match, the cards are returned face down in the same position on the table and it is the second player’s turn.
- Player 2 follows the same procedure until all the cards have been paired up. The player with the most cards wins the game. The overall game winner is the player who wins two out of three games.
- Cards can be cut out or copied from answer pages, or check out our online version at: https://matchthememory.com/rockandmineral
- This is a challenging activity because of the number of pairs to be matched. Here are some other ways to play:
- Read the word cards and find the definitions on the answer sheet.
- Sort the set of cards into two categories: words and definitions.
- Match the corresponding word and definition cards.
- Play the game with only part of the deck.
- Play the game with the answer sheet.
