Flip and Match Activity Design

Date: April 23, 2020

Materials You’ll Need

• Blank Paper
• Markers
• Scissors 
• Colour Cardboard Paper (optional)
• Glue (optional)

Getting Set Up

1. Gather the items in the materials list and find a flat surface to play. 

Make It

1. Grab the paper and use the scissors in order to cut it into 16 squares for the cards (you can also  use cardboard paper to make the squares stronger. Simply cut cardboard into squares that are just a little larger than the blank paper, and use the glue to stick the blank paper on top).
2. Once you have the cards you can begin to design the symbols or objects that will be on one side of the card. Be sure to make two copies of each symbol or object,  as you need to have matching partners. If using vocabulary write the word you’re exploring beneath the picture.  (blank side if using cardboard paper). 
3. In this activity we’ve used the theme of ‘The Environment.’

Adaptations

This Memory game can be played by one player or multiplayers and can be changed to fit any topic you’re interested in exploring. For example, you could explore different subjects or hobbies that learners are interested in . Another change that could be made in order to adapt this to an older age group would be to add an x and y plane and teach how coordinates work.
