Matching game is very fun for children. This type of activity will target all levels of Blooms Taxonomy because this activity tends to focus on the fact-transfer and recalling some information based on what the children read, see and applied to its personal lives.

Ø  Remembering: The key point here is to match the pictures of the farm animals.

> Children will participate one by one and try to find the same picture that is shown on the board or on the table and then match it and speak what kind of animal it is.

Ø  Understanding: The objective here is to identify and or describe the animals.

> As soon as the child find the match, she or he can identify what kind of farm animals he has found and maybe can give a simple description of it.

Ø  Applying: to carry out something or making something out from this activity.

> Children can make their own story about the farm animals or they even can relate their own experiences if they went to the farm and saw these kind of animals.

Ø  Analysing: Distinguishing or asking questions

> Children are very curious once this information is out it will lead to possible question from them regarding farm animals or vice versa. Ex. Child to teacher- Where do the cows live or stay during winter?

Ø  Evaluating: You can ask the children what they think and make them discuss and argue about it.

Ø  Creating: In this part, children may draw their favorite farm animals or color the animals ( crayons and stencils with farm animals will be given)
