Abstract
Games are considered entertaining activities that help the mental and physical stimulation of people; they are especially useful and necessary for learning and cognitive development in children. On the other hand, human's memory has an important role in playing games because of the concentration and memorization processes that are carried out. The memory game in particular serves as a complement in the cognitive development of the human being; it consists of finding equal pairs of cards in a diverse set of them. This paper presents a web platform to create memory games for educational purposes, intended to support the teaching-learning process of different subjects for primary school children. The platform is divided into two systems: the administrator system, which is used by teachers in order to create memory games; and the games themselves, which are generated by the platform for the students to play. The modules that compose the web platform are described and some of the interfaces of the system are shown. A comparative analysis of five existing tools for memory games is also presented, in which the most relevant features were reviewed, such as the possibility to generate new games, the cost to play games, the option to create different types of memory games, the possibility to store the games in the system, the interactivity of the interface, among others.

Summary
Formal education is an important complement in life, because it allows going through different stages of training. Educational platforms have had a great impact on people's learning, thanks to the incorporation of ICT, which have been integrated into new educational models that consider recreational tools with educational approaches.
