Tips & Instructions for
Look 'n Match and Read 'n Match
Look 'n Match for My English Book and Me 1 & 2
A colors/ numbers game for kindergarten and EFL /
ESL students.
Look ’n Match includes:
1. 4 A4 sized boards
2. 6 colorful pictures per board
3. 24 cards to match to the pictures on the
board.
4. Double sided cards: Pictures on Front (for
younger learners). Full sentences on back. (So there is no confusion as to what the picture is. Also so higher level students can use the same game to READ ’n Match)
5. Colors and Numbers
How to play:
1. 1 - 8 players
2. Students pick up a card. Say what it is and
match to the correct picture. They should say what the picture on the board is also. Ie: Eight Stars. Brown Beetle. Higher levels should make full sentences. Ie. There are eight stars. It’s a
brown beetle.
3. Can be played where all students pick up and
match at the same time. Or like a Lotto Game: drawing cards from a pile in the middle. The first student to fill his/ her board wins.
4. Finished? (all cards on top). Do a double
check.
Double Check:
Level 1: The teacher can point and ask: What’s
this? The first child to answer gets the card as a point.
Level 2: The teacher doesn’t say the word—-but
gives hints. The first child to answer gets the card as a point.
C. Level 3: Children give each other hints. The
first child to answer gets the card as a point.
This game is great because:
1. It’s simple.
2. It’s fun.
3. Children LEARN as they MATCH and SAY.
