Beverly Cleary Memory Game

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Where is Henry Huggins? Class members craft playing cards for a memory game. One side features a description or an illustration of a memorable scene, the title of the book and the names of major characters, or a description about the main idea of the story. Groups then trade and play. It's a match!
