Memory Matching activity - Nursery Rhyme week

Archie Deokes

To Archie,

This morning, Monday 14/11/22, you and I sat

down at an experience table and gather some
pieces for a memory game. This memory game is
associated with one of the nursery rhymes from
nursery rhyme week.

We flipped them all over, so they were face

down. We then went through them and matched
up the ones we could do. When you spotted one
of the bird pictures, you very confidently shared
that it was a hummingbird. I was very impressed
that you were able to identify this bird. You were
also able too confidently identify the dragonfly.
During your matching, what I observed was that
you were matching the animals in pairs and
groups of fours. Throughout this you were
chatting away about the different things you
could see in the pictures. Some of the things you
noticed were the colours and shapes and the
actions that the animals were doing.

Learning and where to next:

During this experience I observed you using your memory skills and developing this further. I
also observed you identifying features and types of animals. Through identifying features
and types of animals you were also engaging with colour and shape identification.
To support and extend you with memory and puzzle-based games I aim to continue
providing memory and puzzle experiences.
