Wild Animal Family Match

This set of 28 tiles are colour printed on one side with clear detailed photographic images of real wild animal adults and their young. The photographic imagery allows children to relate these to the real world and promotes discussion.

• Ideal for promoting discussions about how and where animals live, what they eat, which are – or have – predators, what dangers the animals face from each other, the environment or from humankind and the differences between the adults and their young
• Increase vocabulary by using descriptive language and mathematical language
• Improve fine motor skills by gripping, rotating and turning over tiles
• Promote imaginative play and collaborative play

Ways to play:

1. As a matching game – turn all the tiles face up and match the adult animal with its corresponding infant.

2. As a memory game – turn all the tiles face down and try to remember where the matching animal family pairs are located.

3. For sorting into groups – e.g. by habitat, how their feet are different (hooves, claws or paws), which are pets and which are farm animals, or ordered by size.
