Animals of the World Resources
NOCTURNAL ANIMALS - Find the Friends - Match Game
Place as an ‘invitation to play’ as part of continuous provision and/or use as prompts during an adult led activity as follows:
Print and laminate the cards being mindful not to leave pointy corners.
Set up the two sets of animal cards. Choose one of the animals and say its name out loud, e.g. “Owl!”
Then say to the child “Can you find the other owl?”
Help the child through a matching game, whilst reinforcing the names of the animals.
Ideal for 1-2 year olds, but use of cards can be adapted for different age groups.
