Children LOVE pictures of
themselves, don’t they? If
you’ll take photos of children and make multiple copies you’ll be able to use
them for dozens of games, books, and art projects throughout the school year.
Memory
Cut out 3” squares from
cardstock. Glue two photos of each
child to the squares. Children can
use these for a matching activity.
They can also place photo cards face down on the floor and try to match
pairs by turning over two cards at a time.
*Write the child’s name on
one square and glue their photo to the other square for more a more challenging
game.
Sorting
Have children sort photo
cards by beginning sounds, number of syllables, alphabetical order, etc.
Puppet People
Attach photos to straws or craft sticks and
use for working out problems or making
up original stories.
TP People
Glue full body photos to TP
rolls and use in the block center or with a puppet theater.
Flannel Friends
Attach a small piece of
Velcro to the back of each photo and use with a flannel board.
*Be sure to include a
picture of the teacher!
