How to Play the Game
This is a game for two or more players.
1. Look at the picture cards and learn to pronounce the words.
2. Take two of each picture (24-26 cards). Shuffle the cards and lay them on the table, face down.
Players take turns.
3. Turn over one card. Put it in the same spot, face up. Say a sentence with a singular noun, for example, This is a duck.
4. Turn over another card. Put it in the same spot. Say a sentence with a singular noun. If they are different, say, for example, This is a dog. A duck and a dog are different.
5. Turn the cards back, face down, in the same spots. Concentrate: try to remember where the cards are!
6. Call another player, for example, Ming, it's your turn.
7. Repeat steps #3-4. If the cards are the same, say sentences with a singular noun and a plural noun, for example, This is a dog. This a dog, too. They are the same. I found a pair of dogs! Take the pair. You have one point. Repeat steps #6-7.
8. Play until the players find all of the pairs. The player with the most pairs is the winner. Everyone tells the winner, Congratulations!
9. Review the vocabulary and plural ending sounds /s/, /z/, /iz/, for example, Ming found five pairs: a pair of dogs, a pair of bowls, a pair of bats, a pair of tons, and a pair of boxes. Kim found.... Jenny found... Laura found...
