Recognize each pair
Review pictures face up and name their elements; vocabulary examples include cat, dog, rabbit, horse, elephant, giraffe. Agree whether a match requires identical images or a particular association before shuffling.
After the activity
Choose two animals and explain one similarity and one difference using what you can observe. Compare animals by their features and movement without assuming they all share a habitat.
Two cards each turn
Turn over two cards so everyone can see them. Keep a matching pair; otherwise return both cards to the same positions. Agree whether finding a pair grants another turn. Start with a small set and add more pairs for a later game.
