Materials
None needed
Instructions
1. Glue product labels onto index cards and laminate them or cover them with
clear contact paper.
2. Make black and white copies of the labels and make a second set of cards.
Laminate them or cover them with clear contact paper.
3. Make a third set of cards by simply writing the words from each logo or label
on an index card. Laminate them as well.
4. Introduce the activity at Circle Time, using the pocket chart. Begin with the
first two sets of cards. Place the original logo cards in the pocket chart.
5. Give each child a card from the second set. Ask the children to come up, one
at a time, and find the match to their logo.
6. "Read" the logos, and talk about the letters as you go through the cards.
Encourage the children to play the game in pairs during center time.
7. Introduce the third set of cards (with no graphics to help them find matches)
with those children who are ready for the next level of print awareness.
More to do
Make a duplicate game to send home with the children, one at a time, to play at
home with their families. Parents love to feel connected to what goes on in their
child's classroom, and children love to "show off" what they can "read" on their
own!
