Magnifying Pictures Matching Game
By Kayla • April 3, 2018
We love the concept of this matching game we found at Kelly's Kindergarten {via Muck Monsters}. Not only is it great for reviewing opposites, big and small, it provides a fantastic introduction to using a magnifying glass! Here's the gist of the activity...
There are two sets of cards. The first set features large images of themed objects {transportation, living things, or fruit}, while the second set contains the same prints, but on a miniature scale. The game objective - students must match the miniature pictures to their regular sized counterparts and, to do this, they'll have to use a magnifying glass. Your kiddos will feel like miniature detectives as they scan the images.
[NOTE: It would be super cute to set this up as a "mystery" of sorts - decorate the file folder to look like a case of equipment from the 'crime lab', create a reference chart of 'known specimens', and place each miniature card in a small Ziploc 'evidence bag' for students to examine and classify!]
Be sure to visit Kelly's Kindergarten for this awesome download {or take a peek at the cards for some inspiration in creating your own!}.
