Instructional Ideas

• Print in color for younger learners, and in black-and-white for older kids to base their matching abilities on letter recognition rather than color
• Make the game timed for more advanced readers
• Try a hands-on version in an outdoor activity: mark various kites or balloons with letters and have kids attach the cut-out kites to their strings

Pros

• Creative idea for gameboard construction and gameplay
• Provides instructions that are easy to understand and complete

Cons

• None
