In this activity the child matches cards with identical pictures.
Presentation
- Carry the tray to a mat. Place it in the upper right corner.
- Take one set of cards and line them up along the left side of the mat. If there are a large number of cards, use two columns.
- Take a card from the second stack. Compare it to the first card already on the mat. If they don't match compare it to the next card, and so forth.
- Continue until a match is found.
- Repeat this process with the rest of the cards until all the pictures have been matched.
- When putting the work away, be sure to randomize the cards within each set.
