Periodic Table Match-up Game Instructions
Supplies Needed
9 2 to 6 Players, ages 10 and up
9 A set of Periodic Table Match-up Element Cards
9 A copy of the periodic table for each player
9 A pen or pencil for each student
(If you want this game to be reusable, we suggest laminating the periodic
tables and using a wet-erase marker each time you play the game so that you
can wipe off the sheets and play again.)

Instructions
1. Set up the game.
i. Place the element cards face down in a pile in the center of the table.
(You can use all the elements or just the elements your student is working
on memorizing at the time.)
ii. Give each player a copy of the periodic table and something to write
with.
2. The oldest player begins the game by choosing an element card and then, call out the element’s name. (Alternatively, you can have the caller
call out the element’s symbol.)
3. After calling out the element’s name, the caller will start counting to 12.
iv. If the players find the element within 6 seconds, they put a check on the element.
v. If they find it within 12 seconds, they will circle the element.
(Note - Please feel free to adjust the time allotment to the ability of your students.)
6. Once the caller reaches 12, they will give the atomic number of the element. The players who haven’t found the element yet will put an X
over it. Checks are worth 2 points, circles are worth 1 point and X’s are worth no points.
7. The game ends once all of the elements have been called. The players will then add up all their points. The one with the highest points
wins the game.

How to Win
Be the first player with the most points at the end of the game.
Additional Games
You can use the Periodic Table Match-up Element Cards to play a game of “Guess the Element.” Set the deck of element cards face down
in the center of the players. Have the first player choose a card and read the symbol for the element. The other players try to call out what the
elements name is. The first person to guess the element’s name wins that round and gets a point. If no one guesses the element, then no one
gets the point. The first person to reach 15 points is the winner of the game.
