Recognize each pair

Review pictures face up and name their elements; vocabulary examples include tree, star, gift, bell, ornament, light. Agree whether a match requires identical images or a particular association before shuffling.

After the activity

Design an ornament from two geometric shapes and explain how you would repeat its pattern in a garland. Connect Christmas vocabulary with decorations and scenes that participants can interpret in their own way.

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.
