Looking for an engaging and effective way to boost Winter vocabulary recognition in your classroom?

This resource promotes reading, vocabulary recognition, and comprehension by helping students connect written words to corresponding images, all within the context of a winter theme.

Benefits of Using This Winter Word-to-Picture Matching Activity:

  • Supports Literacy Development: Encourages students to not just read words but to understand their meanings by associating them with pictures, enhancing comprehension and retention.
  • Ideal for Non-Verbal Students: A great tool for non-verbal or minimally verbal students to engage with vocabulary in a visual and interactive way, aiding in communication and learning.
  • Versatile Classroom Use: This resource can be used effectively in group activities, speech therapy sessions, 1:1 support, English/literacy lessons, and targeted vocabulary exercises.

  • Detailed instructions on how to maximize the resource in your classroom
  • A recording sheet for tracking student progress

Instructions for Prep:

  1. Print out each of the pages that you want – remember each activity consists of an image page and vocabulary page so you need to print both of these for each activity.
  2. Laminate the images board as one whole sheet (no cutting needed) and then cut out each of the individual boxes on the vocabulary page and laminate these individually.
  3. Use velcro (if you wish) on each of the boxes on the laminated page of images and on the back of each vocabulary box so that they will stick to the pages better.
  4. You’re done. Simply have students match the word cards to the image cards.
