Question about creating a math memory game

My 4th grade class has to create their own math game. I thought a spinoff to the game memory would be fun focusing on geometry (3 sided figures, 4 sided figures and so on). I know what I want to do, but seem stuck on where to start. Any ideas?

Re: Question about creating a math memory game

With my freshman I do memory using index cards. One one card is the problem "x +6 = 10" and then on another problem is the answer "x =4". This way they have to solve the problem and find the corresponding answer.

Or I have done this...but it takes a while to set up. I call it "I have....who has" It works best with vocab. Each kid has a card (index of course) with 2 sentences. One sentence starts "I have_____ (vocab) word" The other sentence starts "Who has _______(DIFFERENT VOCAB DEFINITION)"

You have to have the starting point in mind. Say you want to start with the kid who has the "I have a triangle" card - Bonnie, for example. Bonnie reads her definition "Who has an irregular polygon with 4 sides, only 2 of which are parallel." Then the kid, Jess, for example, who has the card "I have a trapezoid." Reads it aloud. Once you have determined the right kid gave the answer. Jess then reads her definition "Who has a polygon with 4 right angles whose opposite sides are parallel and equal." And so on and so on. "Bonnie" should have the last answer.
