Name: Brother Pap’s Hankies
This game is about matching skills and reaction time. There are sixteen handkerchiefs on the four rows of clothes line. The children will then need to rearrange the handkerchiefs on the right hand side to be in the exact same order as the handkerchiefs on the left hand side. Through this game, the children can learn matching independently as they try to put all the handkerchiefs in the correct place. The game is not too difficult for the children, yet it is challenging at the same time. There is only one way to arrange the handkerchiefs so the children can keep trying till they get the correct arrangement. When the child has finished the game, he can always try the game all over again, with a different arrangement and try to do it within a shorter time span. Teachers can use this game to reinforce the concept of matching after they have taught matching in class. The children will have a different avenue to learn about matching; other than listening to the teacher, playing at the learning corners or doing worksheets.
