How To Use This:
Play this memory game to work on learning and memorizing the names of creatures that lived during the Paleozoic Era. They’ll love learning about these 12 animals! This game works as a great review or supplementary resource to a larger paleontology unit.
What You Get
· - 24 double-sided cards with detailed computer-generated images or photos of creatures from the Paleozoic Era.
Cut apart all the cards. Then lightly glue each back to a front. Run through a laminator and then cut apart each piece. Lay pieces flat and upside down. Take turns with your students to turn over 2 at a time. When you find a match, you get to keep the match. When all the cards have been turned over and matched up, then the game is over. The winner is the one who has found the most matches.
