Activities appropriate for Individual Instruction:
Cognitive/Matching Skills:
Matching objects, pictures, photographs, pictures of common people, drawings
(Boardmaker), names in print (self, peers).
Use language to identify what is being matched. (Example) “Match ball.” “Match horse.”
“Match A.” “Match mommy.” “Match Jose.” “Match apple.” “Match small group.”
IDEA:
While teaching new matching skills: object to object, picture to picture, object to picture,
drawing to drawing, or print to print, vary the items so that one in the array is an easy
task the child has already mastered. (Example) If the child is learning to match two
objects, place one object (car) on the table and a peg board. Give the child the peg to
place in the peg board, then the other object to Match giving the instruction, “Match car.”
Suggestions for matching tasks:
*putting group of farm animals in a toy barn
*putting together easy inset puzzle
*putting group of cars on a race track, garage, or road mat.
*putting little people in a doll house.
