PELMANISM
2-4 players

use the same coloured card.)
b) Demonstrate the game. Place the 12 cards face down on the table. Turn a red card face up and say or read the name of the
animal. Turn up a blue card. If the cards make a pair, keep the cards and take another turn. The winner is the player with
the most pairs.

SNAP
2 players

a) Give each of your children an activity sheet photocopied onto white card.
b) Ask them to colour their animals.
c) Next they cut out the animals and the words.
d) Demonstrate the game. Shuffle 2 sets of cards together. Deal the cards equally between the 2 players. Put the cards in a
pile in front of each player, face down.
e) Turn up the first card and place it in the middle of the table. Say or read the name of the animal. The second player places
his/her first card in the middle. If the 2 cards make a pair, shout “Snap!” The first player to shout ‘Snap!’ keeps the cards.
The winner is the player with the most pairs.
