Energy Memory Game - Activity Instructions

Create your own deck of flashcards to help you learn about different kinds of energy generation, then play a fun matching game.

Part A: Creating The Cards

Step 1.

Using the internet, look up each of the words below so that you have a good understanding of what they are, what they look like and how they work.

SOLAR	GEOTHERMAL	HYDROPOWER	WIND
BIOMASS	COAL	FOSSIL FUEL	NATURAL GAS
COW FARTS	PETROL	URANIUM	RENEWABLE
NON-RENEWABLE

Step 2.

On the cards below, draw a representation of the energy-producing method. You will need to draw two versions so you have a matching pair. If you’re working with a partner, draw one each.

Part B: Playing The Game

Step 1.

Shuffle the cards and lay them all out face down.

Step 2.

When it’s your turn, flip over two cards. If they match, keep the cards. If they don’t, flip them back face down. Then it’s your partner’s turn.

Step 3.

Keep playing until all the card pairs have been claimed by the players. Whoever has the most pairs wins!

Taking it further

Do you know the game Simon Says? Players have to do an action based on what the leader says.

Can you create your own game based on Simon Says and the Energy Flash Cards you’ve just created? It could be played inside or outside. Maybe the leader chooses a card and players have to do an action or go to a specific area, otherwise they are eliminated.
