Silver Bells Memory Game
Since Christmas is almost here I have been listening to a lot of Christmas music. And I was singing ‘Carol of the Bells’ at the store when I saw Hershey Kisses and I had an idea!

- Memory
- Focus
- Concentration
- Social Emotional Skills
- Patience
- Problem Solving
- Handling Winning/Losing
- Following The Rules
- Self-Esteem

How To Play This Memory Game
It’s super simple and like any other memory game.
You will simply line up the Hershey Kisses on the table or board.
Kids will take turn flipping 2 candies over.
If they match, they take them, if they don’t, they flip them back upright.

Our Experience With This Silver Bells Game
My kids had a lot of fun with these. I won’t lie, we ate a lot of Hershey Kisses that day. Yes, it’s a lot of sugar, but it was a fun holiday game that we got to play together and quite frankly, I regret nothing.
We did have to make more game pieces later, but was worth it. My littlest one did get kind of frustrated, but it was a great way to teach them patience.
I hope your family has as much fun as mine did with this easy DIY memory game.
