1)Limit number of formats to start. As students are able to recognize different formats, add them to the games to increase difficulty.
2)For Slap-It! Choose any set as your center pile. The best would be the style that the one with which the student is having most difficulty. This will help them to focus on finding formats that they have an easier time recognizing.
Teacher Instructions: Print on card stock and/or laminate the cards. (Card stock is recommended because some children will try to see through the cards.) Laminating might be prohibitive due to the number of cards needed to create multiple decks/multiple games. If you cannot laminate, card stock is a MUST! Each type of cards is a different style for easy sorting.
**Here is an example of the Slap-It! Directions: Instructions: Needs one set of cards for CENTER pile Use 2-4 copies of one set of cards for PLAYING cards or 2-4 sets of different cards for PLAYING cards
To play: 2-4 players

Flip another CENTER card and continue playing.
