Exactly one year ago (the picture has a date of Feb 24, 2011) Diya made this memory game. I think this is the most challenging version of the memory game I ever played!
I remember playing memory game with Diya using cards - you know the one where all the cards are place in a grid face down; you can turn the face of two cards at a time to memorize them and then turn them back. And then if you get the 9 of Hearts in one turn, and remember seeing the 9 of Diamonds a few turns back, you need to remember where it was in the grid.
After playing a few rounds Diya said that she was getting bored and wanted to do something else. She was repeatedly losing. I concluded that 52 cards were a bit too much for a 5 year old - so we quit for that day.
The next day she came back to me and said that she has created her own version of the memory game!
Even with 20 "cards" I lost every round that day - even though she repeatedly explained to me what were the subtle differences between some of the similar looking squares and rectangles. :)
