Discussion Topics: Name the different shapes.  You can also write the names below each drawing.

When you play the matching and memory games, talk about the strategies you use. This will help children recognise and develop their own problem solving skills and strategies.

Look around the room and see if you can match the shapes on the cards to objects around you.
