Pelmanism

• Prepare several pairs of cards: one with a picture and one with the English word on.
• Variant: Both show the same picture.
• Spread them out, face down.
• In pairs or groups, the children take it in turns to try to remember what the cards are and which two go together.
• A child points to the back of two cards saying, for example, "Father Christmas" and "Father Christmas" .
• Then he or she turns the cards over. If one is the picture of the word "Father Christmas" and the other one is the word "Father Christmas" (or the picture again), then the child picks them up and keeps them.
• If he or she is wrong then both cards must be turned upside down again but their position must remain the same. The winner is the child with most pairs of cards.
