What Do They Have In Common

Notes and links couples of objects that share common characteristics.
A game of ASSOCIATING PAIRS of objects that share common characteristics, either because of their purpose or because
they belong to the same category.
Children can play individually or in small groups. The cards have a SELF-CORRECTING SYSTEM on the back consisting
of a five-coloured band which should match perfectly when the association is right. We recommend explaining how the self correcting
system works to players before they start using the material.
PEDAGOGICAL OBJECTIVES
By means of this GAME OF ASSOCIATION you can work on the following aspects of children’s development:
– Observation of the general characteristics of objects.
– Logical thinking: through the abstraction of characteristics common to two objects, either because they belong to the same
category (animals, fruit), or by their use (protecting the head, protecting the hands, writing, etc.).
– Developing oral language in various aspects: acquiring a vocabulary, describing the objects in terms of their use, the
category to which they belong or their characteristics, explaining what they have in common.
– Visual-motor coordination from handling the cards.
– Learning a second language at an oral level.
