Description: This game is packed with 600 stimuli to develop expression, vocabulary, and thinking skills. Outcomes Effectively express differences and similarities Name items by category Develop a rich, expressive vocabulary There are 200 illustrated game cards. Each game card has two illustrated objects on the front and three questions on the back. The first question focuses attention on how the illustrated items are different. The second question focuses on the similarities of two items. The third question targets categorization skills. The illustrations give students with strong visual skills and weak auditory skills a boost—they don't have to rely on memory to recall details about each item. The cards are organized by: animals foods school/curricular household clothing and accessories potpourri (occupations, transportation, places, sports, and leisure) Students learn to attend to critical features and gain flexibility in thinking and verbal expression. Categorizing requires students to determine how items can belong to the same group despite having unique characteristics. The heavy-duty, single-fold game board is compact and sets up in seconds.
