Would love a ‘shapes’ memory game 🙂
Not sure if it’s possible but would be great to have a drag and drop colour game. Move the red objects onto the red paint etc and using key words from OLG B1 U1 &2 and the phonics course. Red book, pen, pencil, bag, apple etc. 🙂
My students LOVE the memory games. Thank you.
That makes me so glad to hear! I will be uploading a lot more soon 🙂
