Product description

From the author

Review construction vocabulary with a 14-slide PowerPoint memory game. Picture-and-word practice slides introduce workers, machinery, materials, tools and safety equipment before two matching boards. Use it alongside your construction curriculum.

Run the file in slideshow mode. Students choose coordinates on the A–F, 1–3 grid, reveal two cards and use the controls to cover mismatches. After completing the board, choose Start Again for another round. Project it for class turn-taking or share your screen for remote practice.

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Recognize and recall construction-industry vocabulary (job roles, machinery, tools, safety gear) through repeated picture-word matching

  • Build working memory for paired vocabulary terms across a game-board matching format

Teaching tips

  • Preview each vocabulary cluster (job roles, machinery, safety gear) on the practice slides before starting the matching round.

  • Run the game in PowerPoint's presentation/slideshow mode rather than Normal view, since navigation depends on clickable slide elements.

  • Use as a whole-class activity over a shared Zoom screen, calling on students in turn to choose grid coordinates.

Skills covered

  • Construction vocabulary recall — students match picture and word pairs for job roles, machinery, tools, and safety gear.

  • Turn-taking in a shared-screen game — students take turns calling grid coordinates to reveal and match cards.
