How to Play
Playing the Shark Fact Matching Game is easy! Children lay out picture cards of different sharks. You can talk together about what the sharks look like and what their different characteristics are. Then read the fact cards together, and match each fact to the picture of the shark. It turns science learning into a hands-on game!
Why are matching games good for preschoolers?
For preschoolers, matching activities like this support important early learning skills. Children practice visual discrimination as they study the shark pictures, listening and comprehension skills as they hear or read the facts, and critical thinking as they decide which fact belongs with each shark. The simple matching format in our Shark Facts Matching Game keeps the activity developmentally appropriate while still introducing real science content.
Where can I use this?
Teachers can use the Shark Facts Matching Game in small groups, as a center activity, or during circle time, while parents can easily use it at home with minimal setup. It fits perfectly into an ocean unit of study! The game helps expand vocabulary while building background knowledge about sharks.
