Recognize each pair

Review pictures face up and name their elements; vocabulary examples include pencil, book, desk, backpack, ruler, board. Agree whether a match requires identical images or a particular association before shuffling.

After the activity

Group objects by use: writing, measuring, storing or reading; some may have more than one use. Practice vocabulary for recognizable school objects and spaces.

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.
