Creative Homeschooling is...Thinking Out-of-the-Box!

Nov. 10, 2006

Customized Matching Game!


In our family we have a special Matching Game that is one-of-a-kind! Instead of matching pictures of children celebrities such as Barney or Big Bird, we match up pictures of ourselves our dog and even Grandma! This custom made matching game is easy to make and is great fun!


Materials needed:
Duplicate Photos (approximately 36) 
Card Stock Paper
Laminate (or Decopodge)
Scissors or Paper Cutter
 
Lay out your duplicate photos on heavy card stock, placing them in neat rows with plenty of space around each.  Once they are in place, glue them to the card stock. After the glue has dried, you will need to add a protective cover on the front and back side of your card stock/photo sheet. This can be done by either laminating or adding a few coats of decopodge. For the last step, cut the pieces into the exact same size with either scissors or a paper cutter.
 
Tip! For a professional laminating job, take your photo/card stock sheet into your local copy place such as Office Max or Staples.
 
Tip! Try adding letters of the alphabet to each piece. For example, M can be on the picture of Mommy or D on the picture of your dog.

A great idea, I did a similar thing by making up a family bingo game using family photos. It's so nice when you have family living far away to have a game that keeps the faces familiar for children.

Yet another great idea! My Boy 2 would love to have a game like this of all the things he loves and knows. Hmmm....maybe I could make it for a Christmas present.

Isn't it amazing how kids love to associate things with themselves? Matching games are always a hit with my kids and classes. ;o)

Great idea. We have a few home-made matching games made from metal juice lids from frozen juice. We stick matching stickers on them.

I'm going to try it this way with family pictures! I love it.

Have an awesome week. I call you blessed and highly favored.

In Him,
