I recently made this matching activity for my younger kids out of Easter eggs. I bought a pack of 18 eggs from the dollar store and knew I wanted to do something with them, aside from using them for only Easter.
First, I made a set using numbers (1-10). My 4 year old had to match the number to the correct number of dots for a match.
An easier version, was to match the same shape for a match. Circle with circle, triangle with triangle, etc.
I separated all the eggs and put the halves in a basket. The kids had to dig through the basket to find the matches. My 9 year old son came into the room awhile later and decided to turn the game into memory. The kids then set up the eggs in rows with the numbers and shapes facing away from them. One at a time, they took turns picking an egg and seeing if it was a match.
*When making this activity, make sure to not let the eggs match up in colors! Separate all the eggs first, put them back together with a non-matching color and then write on the eggs.
I recently made these for my pre-k classroom. I also made a set with the number and the number word and another set with their first name on one half and their last name on the other.

Great Idea on the eggs for matching. As a room mom for my son's 1st grade class, we did an egg hunt. Usually the kids take off & 1 or 2 end up with most of the eggs. I decided to make it last longer by writing spring, color, and simple related words on each egg..tried to make it a a big variety, but I did have several repeats. I made enough eggs for each child to have a dozen eggs to find. Each child got their own list of twelve words and they could only put those in their basket. It was fun and the kids also teamed up with friends helping them find what they were missing on their list. It stretched the egg hunt out to about 30 to 45 minutes.
ReplyDeleteYou could use to match multiplication facts with the array rectangles.
ReplyDeleteWith regards to individual loaning items, there is not a top on the consideration rates and costs leasers can charge subsequently, clueless borrowers find ourselves covered in obligations greater than expected. Typically cases, understudies trust that mass amounts of dollars can not be combined alongside his government understudy credits since the foreordained total was from restrictive undergrad money related advances.
