Preschoolers and school starters want to discover letters and numbers! The first and most important learning objectives they need to master are visual and auditory sound analysis as well as the association of numbers and quantities. But how can you prepare the children for the new requirements, secure the newly learned shapes, and at the same time maintain and perhaps even promote their desire to explore and learn? With the games in this collection, such as memo, quartet, and Old Maid games, "Initial Sound Don't Get Mad," letter lotto, and number bingo, the characters become excitingly tangible and comprehensible! The materials are all presented as motivatingly designed photocopiable templates, making them quick and easy to use. Due to their independent preparation from any specific curriculum, the games are ideal for cooperative projects, writing preparation, and development.
