This Winter Clothes Memory Game will make an excellent addition to your winter lesson planning, and since preschoolers love this type of game, it will help keep them busy for a long time while developing important skills without them even noticing.
Winter Clothes Memory Game
This type of game will bring a lot of fun to your classroom and friendly competition among your preschoolers, as they work on important skills that will be very useful for their integral development.
This free Winter Clothes Memory Game will help preschoolers pay attention to details to recognize the pairs of cards, which will help them improve their visual discrimination and strengthen their concentration, one-to-one correspondence, focus, and memory.
It is important to avoid frustration and failure in your students, taking into consideration their level of maturity, and pair children at a similar level and the number of cards that each specific pair of children can handle. You don’t have to use all of them. Just remember to always use one pair of each card.
It includes four pages with nine cards each, and you can find it at the end of this post, so be sure to grab it.
If your preschoolers have been exposed to other memory games, they will probably be able to work independently. However, new students who are not familiar with these types of games will need your guidance.
How to Prepare the Winter Clothes Memory Game
This game’s cards must be durable and strong, because the children will manipulate them in any kind of way, and you want them to last a long time.
To get this Winter Clothes Memory Game ready, you will need these materials:
- FREE Winter Clothes Memory Game cards are found at the end of this post.
- Printer.
- White cardstock.
- Scissors.
- Laminator.
- Laminator paper.
Begin by printing two sets of each page using white cardstock. Then cut out and laminate each tile to protect it and make it last longer. Once you get them ready, you might want to place them in a small basket, a little box, or a Ziploc bag so they stay together and you don’t lose any of the cards.
When Winter is over, you can store the game in a pencil case or a Ziploc bag to protect it and use it year after year.
How to Play the Winter Clothes Memory Game
To start, lay out the cards face down in rows and columns so your preschoolers can only see the backside, invite two to join you, and explain to them how to play.
Keep it super simple by placing the cards face down, and start by playing like any traditional memory game where children take turns selecting two cards to turn over, trying to make a match. If a match is made, then the preschooler gets to keep the set of cards. If not, then the cards have to be turned back over, and the next preschooler takes the turn.
Books About Winter
If you have read some of my articles, you probably know by now that I am a huge fan and user of storybooks. I wanted to include some of my favorite books about winter.
- The Biggest Snowman Ever by Steven Kroll is a fun story about Clayton and Desmond’s collaboration to build the biggest snowman ever for the town’s contest.
- Ten Sparkly Snowflakes by Tiger Tales. A cut math book that uses woodland animals to show children how the number of snowflakes decreases from 10 to 1 with each turn of the page.
- Animals in Winter by Henrietta Bancroft. This book is a little advanced for preschoolers, but it can help you introduce your kids to basic science ideas during discussions about the seasons and animals.
- Goodbye Autumn, Hello Winter by Kenard Pak. A brother and sister will take children on a journey as they explore nature and stroll through their twinkling town, greeting all the signs of the coming winter.
