Matching Magic: Discovering Pairs in Preschool

Help me give my students games and socks to learn "same or different"

$219 goal

Hooray! This project is fully funded

My Project

My prekindergarten students take great delight in engaging with the activities I design, consistently putting forth their best effort.

In line with our curriculum for this quarter, my young learners are immersed in grasping the concept of "matching pairs," a fundamental skill that aids them in discerning the concepts of "same or different."
I believe that incorporating distinct printed socks into our outdoor activities would serve as a wonderful tool for an interactive "matching socks" game. This engaging game not only infuses an element of fun but also facilitates their tactile and cognitive growth in an enjoyable environment.
In addition to the socks, I am also seeking a few sets of matching card games. These resources will effectively reinforce the concept of matching in diverse ways, offering a variety of engaging opportunities for my students to practice and refine their newfound skills.
