2. Select 1 set of cards to print. After printing, color-code or mark 1 half side on the back of each card.

Small stickers (colors &

shapes) are great for
coding the backs of the
cards.

3. If you're going to laminate your cards, do so now.

4. Use the black or white line on the front of each photo to cut and separate the head or tail from the body.

card.

5. Mix up all the cut cards.

6. Show the child how to divide the cards into 2 piles (1 with the color-coding, 1 without).
7. Select 1 pile of cards & lay them out face-up on the table (leave space in between for the matching card).
8. Using the other pile of cards, match the head or tail to the correct card that is already laid out on the table.
9. If you wish to create a set of 'Control Cards' for the child to check their work (or assist with the matching process), you
can print off a second set of cards - but do not cut them.
10. Vocabulary that can be used during this work: body, head, tail, (including other specific vocabulary of animal anatomy),
name of each animal, classification of animal (amphibian, bird, fish, reptile, mammal).
