Concentration With Letters

Objective: Match upper and lower case letters.

Materials:
    A 36": x 24": pocket chart.
    Eight to ten pairs of letter flash cards.

Write the numbers 1-16 or 1-20 randomly on the back sides of the flash cards.
Arrange the flash cards in the pocket chard in a 4 x 4 matrix. For example:

            1234
            5678
            9101112
            13141516
   

Procedures:
    Present the chart to the class. Tell them that behind each number is a
    letter. Their task is to match upper case and lower case letters, for
    example, "A" and "a".

    Take the first turn by having a student name two numbers and by showing the
    students the letters behind them. If they are not matched, turn the two
    letters face down again.

    Have another student choose two other numbers and try to match an upper case
    with a lower case letter. If he is successful he gets a point and the
    matched letters are left right side up. If not, the two cards are placed
    face down again.

    Repeat step #3 with each student in the class. Continue until all letter
    pairs have been properly matched.
