MEMORY GAME

Marine Match-Up



What do you think happens when an animal comes across litter in its natural habitat?

A sea turtle can choke on a plastic sandwich bag that it mistakes for food. A curious sea lion can get entangled in discarded commercial fishing nets.

Play the MARINE MATCH-UP game to learn more about how litter harms marine animals.

HOW TO PLAY (FOR TWO PLAYERS)

1.) Cut out the squares and place them face down. 2.) Player 1 turns over two squares. 3.) If a match is revealed, the player gets to keep the two squares.

For example, if the player reveals two Dolphins, he gets to keep the two squares. However, if the player reveals two animals which DO NOT match, then both squares are turned face down again and Player 2 takes a turn. 4.) When all the squares are gone, the player with the most number of squares wins.
