About this resource
Description
This we go together activity is a picture memory game that helps young children name objects and match two things that belong together, like a sock and a shoe or a key and a lock. Sorting and pairing related things builds vocabulary and early classification skills, and it gets children talking about how the world fits together. The we go together activity is a quick, playful way to practice thinking and speaking skills in preschool, kindergarten and first grade.
How to Use This Activity
Print the 22 picture cards and cut them apart. Lay the cards face down, then children take turns turning over two cards and naming each picture. When the two things go together, the child tells why and keeps the pair. Start young children with six pairs and add more as they get good at the game. After playing, children draw the pairs they found on the Matching Mat, and a kindergarten practice page asks them to draw lines to match five new pairs.
What’s Included
- Colorful cover page
- How to Use page with simple steps and extension ideas
- 22 picture cards (11 go-together pairs)
- Matching Mat for drawing the pairs
- Draw-a-line matching practice worksheet
- Answer key: picture card pairs and practice key
Why This Preschool Classification Activity Helps Kids
First, naming every picture grows the everyday words children need for reading and talking. Second, deciding what goes together builds the classification skill behind sorting, science and math. Third, explaining why two things match gives children practice speaking in full sentences. This preschool classification activity also builds memory, turn taking and patience during play.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Use the cards in a small group, a calm-down corner or a learning center. Play a fast version with the cards face up, or hide one card and ask which partner is missing. Invite children to think of new pairs from home, such as a cup and a plate, and draw them on the mat.
