Toys and Games Reviews of Original Memory
Customer Review: Fun game, even young children can play
Summary: 5 Stars
The cardboard pieces are hard enough that it takes a lot of teething on them to ruin them. THey do not bend easily. My only complaint about the pieces is they are a bit small. The small size makes it a bit difficult for small hands to manipulate them at times.
THere are many small pieces so if you loose one or two, you just take the match out of the pile and toss it away too. The game will be just as fun and no one will be the wiser.
In fact, when we play with our younger children, we often times just use half of the pieces.
THe game is the traditional memory game that almost everyone has played at one point in their life. It develops eye and hand coordination, following rules, taking turns, memory skills, picture skills and more.
Well worth the money.
Enjoy.
Customer Review: Classic, timeless toy
Summary: 4 Stars
My oldest son is 22 years old, and my youngest is 14. In between, we've had no less than three different versions of this game and it's a timeless classic. We're going to buy it for our granddaughter because of all the family fun it brings to our home.
You'll be amazed at how fast your toddler can actually WIN THIS GAME! The game tests a child's memory--which, surprisingly, is much better than mom's or dad's. This fabulous game is an excuse to bring the family together to test how well we can remember images, and the children almost always win. When they win, they gain self-esteem and adults earn respect for their skills. Even more important, perhaps, is the time spent together as a family.
The game's a timeless classic that should be in every home that has a child.
Customer Review: Good for Preschool Learning, But Some Weird Pictures
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this for my toddler so we could learn shapes and things together. It's hard to keep him engaged, so if we play for short periods with just a few tiles (like 10) he likes the game and it's exciting for him.
I notice that Amazon lists this as the "original" Memory game but this is not the original game. There are some weird pictures that I think the manufacturer should have omitted, like a weird blue-colored monkey, a pink rabbit, and a purple elephant.
My son was confused by some of them. I had to then explain why the elephant was purple and not grey like normal elephants. Why wouldn't they try to make these animals look as much as possible like the actual animals? It's supposed to be a teaching game, after all.
Customer Review: Not the original I remember playing
Summary: 3 Stars
This isn't the memory game I had purchased for our kids. The one we had used a game board tray with card sheets that lay in the tray under the lid(it had a lift up tray lid that had grids to expose the images). There were icons such as construction cones that covered the images up. So it was interactive and had numerous sheets to use so the kids never could memorize all of them. They loved that version of Memory.
As to this one. The grandkids have fun playing it for about thirty minutes then they become bored with it. We always make the amount of cards we play with at one time appropriate for the age of the kids, the older they are the more cards we layout.
Customer Review: Original memory game
Summary: 3 Stars
Our children grew up with the "original" memory game so now it was time to introduce this fun matching, memory experience with our two year old grandchild.
This was not the "original" - colors are not as vivid, pictures are sweet and cute and the cards are firm cardboard that hold up to little fingers.BUT,
why are they rectangular instead of square? Makes for difficulty putting the game away for little hands when they only fit into the frame one way.
We loved the original and this game does teach the concept of matching and with cute figures but it could be improved. Make them square and use bolder colors.
