Recognize each pair
Review pictures face up and name their elements; vocabulary examples include moon, planet, star, rocket, comet, telescope. Agree whether a match requires identical images or a particular association before shuffling.
After the activity
Sort words into celestial objects and human-made objects; a rocket belongs in the second group. Distinguish objects seen in the sky from vehicles and instruments used to explore it.
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.
