Same and Different

Discover how to spot matching items and notice differences!

What Does Same and Different Mean?

Hello little explorer!
Today we're going to play a fun matching game! Some things look exactly alike - we call them "same." Other things have special differences that make them unique - we call these "different." Let's practice finding matches and spotting differences together!

How to Tell if Things Are Same or Different

1️⃣ Look carefully at colors, shapes, and sizes

2️⃣ Compare one thing with another

3️⃣ Decide if they match or have differences

Let's Play Some Games!

Parent Tips 🌟

  • Make it a game: Turn everyday objects into matching games ("Can you find another spoon like this one?").
  • Use familiar items: Start with objects your child knows well (toys, clothes, foods) before moving to pictures.
  • Celebrate differences: After finding matches, talk about how differences make things special too!
