I hope you enjoy using these Halloween Match Cards.

To use: Simply print out the cards, cut and laminate them.

For extension: For some of these activities you might like to print off 2 copies of these cards. This way students can differentiate not only between objects, but the same objects in different colors. For eg, instead of matching the pink and blue spiders, they have to match 2 pink spiders as well as 2 blue spiders.

Literacy activity suggestions:

1.  Place them in alphabetical order (using only 1 of each object). 2.  Memory: Place all cards face down randomly in 4 rows of 6. Students work, or

compete, in pairs to match the objects. Once paired - -  Students should name the objects. -  They can name the initial sound. -  When finished they can write the words they matched.

3.  Read the room: One set of cards are kept aside, and the matching cards are hidden around the room. Students are given a number of the cards and search the room to find the pair. They write the words as they find them. Varying the number of cards given to each student helps with differentiation.

4.  Trick or Treat: 2 students are given 4 cards each, the other cards are placed in one pile facedown. The goal is to find matching pairs. Player 1 checks their cards & asks the other player for a matching card (for eg, a pumpkin). If player 2 has one, they hand it over and the pair is put aside, then player 1 may ask again. If not, they say Trick or Treat & player 1 takes a card from the top of the pile and player 2 takes their turn. If a player runs out of cards, they take another from the pile. The winner is the player with the most pairs once all cards are matched.

-  Players can use tally marks to keep track of the score over multiple games.

-  Players can name the initial sound and/or write the words they matched.
