Instructions:
Print, laminate and cut the individual cards.
Mix the vocab and picture cards and have students match the picture with the vocab.
Play the memory game. After mixing, place the cards face down and have students turn over two cards. If the student matches the picture with vocab, the student keeps the set before trying to find another match. If no match is found the next student takes a turn. Continue until all cards have been matched. The student with the most cards at the end is the winner.
Cards are versatile and can be divided into as few or as many sets as required.
Enjoy!
Going to be using this as part of a Polish day within our school. Starts with an intro to Polish phonics then covers colours, numbers to 10 and family members. Could be used as an alternative to French or just as EAL activity with newly arrived Polish children. Thought i would put it on here as there is a serious lack of Polish resources.
