| Synopsis
|
Children learn category concepts with fun, motivating card games at
three difficulty levels. There are three decks of playing cards. Each
deck contains 54 cards (four cards for each of 13 categories and two
Wild Cards). The decks are arranged in a hierarchy of difficulty:
Deck 1- basic, earlier-developing categories: Food, Animals, Clothing,
Colors, Numbers, Letters, Tools, Body Parts, Musical Instruments,
Toys, Sports, Furniture, and Rooms in a House
Deck 2- differentiates basic categories into subcategories: Fruits,
Vegetables, Seasons, Kitchen Utensils, Containers, Fasteners, Farm
Animals, Forest Animals, Pets, Appliances, Relatives/Family, Vehicles,
and Rooms in a School
Deck 3- challenging categories that interest older students: Meats,
Desserts, Things to Read, Buildings, Occupations, Jobs/Chores, School
Tools/Equipment, Girls' Names, Boys' Names, Beverages, States,
Jewelry, and Computer Equipment.
Students match cards from the same category in four stimulating games
like Steal the Pile and Stack 'Em Up. Each game comes with suggestions
for expanding categorization skills and reinforcing goals in verbal
expression. A student progress tracking sheet is included.
