Mix-N-Match: Primary
Shapes
Students play an interactive quizzing game to learn about shapes. This set includes matching cards. For example, one card reads, “Star.” The matching card has an illustration of a star shape. Every student in class receives one card with either the name of a shape or a picture of a shape. Students play Quiz-Quiz-Trade with their cards. The quizzing looks like this: Students put a hand up and find a partner. In the pair, one partner has the Star card and asks, “What does a star look like?” The other partner responds. Then they quiz the other way. The other partner has a card with a drawing of a crescent. He asks, “What shape is this?” His partner responds. Students trade cards and find a new partner to quiz. After many rounds of pairing and quizzing, the teacher asks students to hurry and find their partner with their matching card. The repeated quizzing with multiple classmates makes the content super memorable. Your students have so much fun that they barely realize they’re learning!
Your little ones will love these energizing learning games! Students each get a Mix-N-Match card related to the topic. They move about the room quizzing each other and trading Mix-N-Match cards. You call, "Freeze!" They then rush to find a partner with the matching card. "What letter do I begin with?" "What number am I?" Students enjoy mixing and matching so much, they hardly realize they are repeatedly quizzing each other and mastering the content.
