‘L'animal dans la Décoration’ Matching Cards

About the Art:

The art features in this set arecChromolithographic patterns from L'animal dans la Décoration (1897) by French artist and
decorator Maurice Pillard Verneuil (1869–1942). Verneuil made significant contributions to the Art Deco movement through
bold floral and animal designs on media such as ceramic tiles, wallpapers, textiles, and posters.

Memory Game:
Lay the cards out in a grid, image-side down. Turn over any two cards. Do they match? If not, turn them back over. Now
turn over another card. Do you recall seeing this card? Where is it? Encourage the child to locate the matching card.
Once a match has been found, remove those cards and place them to the side.

This game can be played in small groups or individually. For younger children, start with a smaller subset of cards, and
gradually add more cards to increase the difficulty.

Once the lesson has been presented, the child is ready to work independently.

Matching:
In this activity, the cards are separated into two identical groups. Begin by laying out the cards from one group in a row,
one at a time. Once all the cards have been laid out, take a card from the second pile and place it beside it’s match.
Encourage children to identify the animals in each image.

Once again, for smaller children, you may wish to begin with a smaller subset of cards and then gradually add more cards
to increase the difficulty.

Once the lesson has been presented, the child is ready to work independently.
