PBIS Memory Cards Bundle

10 Schoolwide Expectation Matching Games | 600 Cards | 300 Behavior & Response Pairs

Bring PBIS expectations to life with this comprehensive PBIS Memory Cards Bundle!

This schoolwide collection includes 10 complete PBIS Memory Card games, each focused on a different setting students encounter throughout the school day. Rather than simply asking students to identify appropriate and inappropriate behavior, these games help students make the important connection between an unexpected behavior and the corrective action or replacement behavior that should follow.

Across the bundle, students practice expectations involving safety, respectful communication, responsibility, personal space, cleanliness, transitions, following directions, caring for property, appropriate voice levels, problem solving, and making things right after a poor choice.

More Than a Traditional Memory Game

These cards take the familiar memory-game format and turn it into meaningful PBIS practice.

Students work to make the connection:

Unexpected Behavior → Appropriate Response

Instead of matching two identical pictures, students match a behavior scenario with the response that helps correct the situation.

For example, students may need to connect:

Leaving trash behind → Cleaning the area properly

Cutting in line → Returning to the appropriate place and waiting patiently

Using an inappropriate voice level → Practicing the expected voice level

Ignoring directions → Refocusing and following the expected procedure

Damaging or misusing materials → Repairing, cleaning, or appropriately restoring them

This makes the activity ideal for discussion because students must think about why the two cards belong together.

Reinforces the Three B’s

The scenarios throughout the bundle naturally reinforce the core PBIS expectations of:

Be Safe
Students practice safe movement, personal space, equipment use, emergency procedures, bus safety, and appropriate behavior in shared spaces.

Be Respectful
Students practice kind language, listening, privacy, inclusion, patience, manners, sportsmanship, and respect for adults and peers.

Be Responsible
Students practice following procedures, caring for materials, cleaning up, staying in assigned areas, completing expectations, and correcting mistakes.

The restroom set, for example, reinforces cleanliness, privacy, hygiene, appropriate use of materials, and returning promptly to class. PBIS Memory - PBIS Expectations… PBIS Memory - PBIS Expectations…

The library set reinforces appropriate voice levels, care of books and technology, safe movement, respectful checkout procedures, and responsibility for shared learning spaces. PBIS Memory - PBIS Expectations… PBIS Memory - PBIS Expectations…

Multiple Ways to Use the Cards

Traditional Memory Game

Place the cards face down. Students turn over two cards at a time and try to match a behavior scenario with the appropriate corrective-action card.

PBIS Sorting Activity

Students sort scenarios into categories such as:

Safe
Respectful
Responsible

Scenario Discussion

Read a behavior card aloud and ask students to predict the appropriate response before revealing the match.

Partner Challenge

One student reads the behavior while another explains what should happen next.

Role-Play

Students act out both the unexpected behavior and the appropriate replacement behavior.

Small-Group Intervention

Choose cards related to behaviors that a group is currently working on and use them for targeted reteaching.

Schoolwide PBIS Stations

Assign different editions to different locations or staff members during PBIS kickoff days or expectation rotations.

Designed for Real School Situations

These aren't generic behavior statements. The cards address situations students actually encounter throughout the school day.

Students practice what to do:

• During classroom instruction
• While eating in the cafeteria
• During hallway transitions
• While playing at recess
• When using the restroom
• While visiting the library
• When entering the school office
• While riding the school bus
• During field trips
• During fire drills and emergency practice

The field-trip edition, for example, includes staying with assigned adults or buddies, respecting public spaces and venue staff, following posted safety rules, and using appropriate behavior in museums, parks, gift shops, and other community locations.

Easy to Prepare

Simply:

Print → Cut → Shuffle → Play

For long-term classroom or schoolwide use, print on cardstock and laminate the cards.

Because each edition has its own coordinating themed card back, sets can easily be kept organized when several editions are being used throughout the school.

A Complete PBIS Expectation Review System

Students need more than posters telling them what to do. They need opportunities to think about behavior, discuss choices, recognize consequences, and practice better responses.

The PBIS Memory Cards Bundle transforms expectation review into an interactive activity students can revisit throughout the year.

With 10 complete school-setting editions, 600 cards, and 300 matching behavior-and-response pairs, this bundle gives teachers, counselors, PBIS teams, interventionists, and administrators a flexible resource for explicitly teaching what Safe, Respectful, and Responsible behavior looks like across the entire school experience.
