Tim's Memory & Matching Games

Custom Memory Game Maker

Type one pair per line, separated by a vertical bar: word | match. Emoji work too, so you can pair a picture with a word.

Any pair you can type, on a printable card

The built-in decks cover the common classroom cases, but the useful game is usually the one built around this week's material. Type your list here and the cards appear as you go.

Common uses: foreign-language vocabulary (sun | sol), states and capitals, chemical symbols, character names and books, musical notes and rests, or a picture emoji matched with its written word.

Lines without a vertical bar produce identical pairs, which is handy for straightforward spelling-word matching.

Frequently asked questions

How do I format my list?
One pair per line, with a vertical bar between the two sides: 'water | agua'. A line with no bar becomes a pair of identical cards.
Can I use emoji or symbols?
Yes. Any character you can type works, and single emoji are rendered at picture-card size.
How many pairs can I add?
Up to 24 pairs — 48 cards — spread across as many pages as needed.
