If you’ve ever tried teaching kids the difference between uppercase and lowercase letters, you know it can get tricky fast. One minute they’re proudly shouting “A” and the next they’re calling a lowercase “b” a “p.” That’s why hands-on practice works so perfectly.
This Alphabet Upper and Lowercase Memory Game turns letter recognition into play for your preschooler. It’s simple to set up, quick to learn, and perfect for busy days when you want learning that still feels like fun.

What You’ll Need
Why Memory Games Help
Memory games do more than match pictures. They support focus, recall, and confidence while keeping little learners engaged.
- Focus and attention: Kids slow down and notice details.
- Recall skills: They remember positions and patterns.
- Confidence: Matching a pair feels like a big win.
- Letter practice: Matching uppercase with lowercase makes recognition stick.
How to Play
Print the cards and cut along the lines. Laminate if you want them to last.
Mix the cards and lay them face down in rows.
Take turns flipping two cards. If they show the same letter in uppercase and lowercase, keep the pair.
If they don’t match, flip them back and try again on your next turn.
Play until all pairs are found. The player with the most pairs wins.
Tip: Start with fewer pairs for beginners. Add more as skills grow.
More Ways to Use the Cards
- Alphabet sorting: Make two piles for uppercase and lowercase.
- Letter sounds: Say the sound each time a card is flipped.
- ABC order: Line up cards in sequence to practice ordering.
- Go Fish: Use the cards like a simple Go Fish game. Ask “Do you have the lowercase g?”
