Matching Activities

The picture and word matching grids are presented in two formats - full screen and recording/writing grids. This means that they can be used in different ways on the computer. The full-screen versions make them particularly appropriate for group work. The matching grids can be printed out and cut up to make matching cards for table-top activities, both at picture and word level. The sequence of pictures in the Listen and Match activity can be printed and cut up and used in a variety of contexts at a number of different levels.

• 2 copies can be used for matching
• The pictures can be matched to those in the printed book
• The pictures can be ordered as they appear in the book, from memory
• A caption can be written for each picture
• A sentence can be written for each picture
• The narrative can be re-told with the sections between pictures filled in
• The feelings of the character in the picture can be described

Any of the above ideas can be also be done as group activities, with the pictures mounted and displayed on a flip chart.
