DESCRIPTION
The SDGs Memory Game was created by UCLG (United Cities and Local Governments) and was launched as a tool to raise awareness about the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals and their local implementation and to inspire local action and familiarise participants with the 17 SDGs.
Important elements of the game
- The game allows exchanges and conversations among citizens, practitioners, and policymakers.
- Each card shows an image of a local solution to a global challenge, promoting knowledge sharing and learning
- The practices included in the game can inspire further ideas on how to localise the SDGs in a player’s local community or region
- The game enriches local, regional, and global knowledge through shared practices and solutions.
How to play
The SGDs Memory Game works like the well-known Memory game, but uses SDG-themed cards and content:
Shuffle the cards and lay them face down on a table; players take turns flipping over two cards; if the cards match, the player keeps them and takes another turn; if they do not match, the cards are turned back over, and the next player takes their turn; the game continues until all cards are matched in pairs; the player with the most pairs wins.
