Inclusive and adaptable

Designed to support children at different developmental stages, including children with SEND.

Begin with just two or three matching pairs before gradually introducing more cards. Children can participate through pointing, selecting, matching, signing or verbal communication.

For younger children, place the cards face up to encourage simple matching without the additional challenge of remembering their positions.

The activity can be enjoyed independently, alongside an adult or with peers, allowing every child to participate at their own level.

A simple, engaging resource to bring meaningful learning, connection and a little Halloween fun into your early years environment.
