A cup, a sock or a flashlight can prompt a surprisingly good conversation. This set brings ordinary objects together in clear pictures, with labels adults can check or hide. Use words that your family actually uses; the British and American options are vocabulary choices, not competing correct answers.
First page shown. The download includes the complete activity and grown-up guidance.
Recognize familiar objects, name them and connect them with everyday uses.
Show two pictures and name the one you want. You can bring one familiar real object alongside its picture to make the connection clearer.
Try a little moreSort the cards by where you might find them, accepting more than one sensible room. Let your child give you a clue without saying the object’s name.
A flashlight may be called a flashlight; a bin may be called a trash can. Other regional or home-language names can also be valid. Keep real household items adult-selected and safe to handle.
The set shows cup, spoon, sock, toothbrush, bed, chair, book, flashlight/flashlight, bin/trash can and apple. Use the visible label to check a picture, and accept a sensible alternative name or description.
