12 disciples memory game
But I know not all kids like to sing.  So when I was preparing our next Sunday School Lessons  I decided to prepare a 12 disciples game for kids to learn the names of the 12 Disciples: Simon Peter, Andrew, James, his brother John, Philip, Thomas, Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Thaddeus, Simon, Judas, and Bartholomew.
Free printable 12 disciples
Start by printing the 4 pages in color on cardstock and cut apart (You may also want to laminate them for durability). Now make 4 rows of 6 cards in each (2 cards of each of the disciples).
On your turn turn over two cards. If they match, you keep them and go again. If not turn them back over and it is the next persons turn.
I suggest having the kids say the name of the disciples out loud as they turn them over so they can learn most effectively!

Thanks Beth for creating this game idea and the printable available. I am teaching at Sunday school and wanted to teach the names of 12 disciples of Jesus and I find this very useful!
God bless.
Thank you!
I’m using for my Sunday school lessons thank you so much
I am so excited to find these for homeschooling purposes. Thank you! I printed out two sets, laminated them, & plan to use them for several lessons. I will likely take them to my church after I finish with them at home.
What great materials to use to teach the kids about the disciples! They will love the matching game to learn the names of each disciple! Very creative!
Thank you!!!
