Playing The Game

In case you haven’t played a matching game before, you turn over two cards at the same time. If they match, you get to keep them and turn over another set of crayons to try again.

If they don’t match you turn them back over in their original spot and it becomes the next person’s turn.

  2. Love the crayon box shapes. I just retired last year after teaching Math and Science for 25 years. My almost 2 1/2 year old grandson loves to color and I’m going to start homeschooling him in the next few weeks. So this will be perfect on shapes, with two at a time, and I can also start colors with them. The matching will have to wait for at least 6-9 months. Thanks for the free printable.
