This is a memory game using patterns of shapes. Each team needs a set of pattern blocks and you need a large-scale set of pattern blocks. Divide the class into teams of five to seven students. Make a pattern with the blocks and briefly show it to the first player on each team. The players should make a copy of the original pattern by memory. Award points for correct answers. Make another pattern for the second player on each team, and so on.
