Group game
Memory
Every participant gets the same shuffled grid of term and definition cards. Click two, a match vanishes - and whoever clears the board first wins. The trainer watches the live ranking.
What is the Memory game?
Memory turns any glossary into a race. The trainer types or pastes term–definition pairs, participants join with a QR code and each of them clicks matching pairs on the same shuffled board - a hit disappears, a miss flashes red and counts as a mistake.
It works with any subject that has vocabulary to master: project management terms, legal concepts, product names, foreign words. Two to thirty pairs, an optional time limit, and a final answer key to debrief from.
Features
Key capabilities
Paste a whole list
One pair per line, split by a tab, dash or colon - a spreadsheet column pastes straight in. Or type the pairs one by one.
The same board for everyone
Cards are shuffled once, so every participant races on an identical grid - the comparison is fair.
Optional time limit
Set the clock and the game ends itself, or leave it open and end the race by hand.
Live ranking
Pairs cleared, mistakes and finish times on the projector as they happen - with a podium and the full answer key at the end.
Step by step
How it works
Enter the pairs
Type or paste the term–definition list and optionally set a time limit.
Participants join
Project the QR / letter code; joining takes a first name, no accounts.
Start the race
Everyone clicks pairs on the same shuffled board; matches vanish, misses count.
Debrief
The podium and the answer key close the exercise - linger on the most-confused pairs.
Use cases
What it’s good for
- Revising the key terminology at the end of a training day.
- A warm-up that checks what the group remembers from last time.
- Vocabulary drills in language courses or onboarding programs.
- Revise terminology as a race rather than a worksheet
- An exercise matching concepts to their definitions
- Check what the group remembers from the previous session
