Recognize each pair

Review pictures face up and name their elements; vocabulary examples include octopus, shark, whale, coral, wave, shell. Agree whether a match requires identical images or a particular association before shuffling.

After the activity

Separate living things from landscape features; explain why a whale is not classified as a fish. Explore sea animals and ocean scenery through words, shapes and routes.

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.
