The Legend of the Indian Paintbrush Scene Matching Game | Tomie dePaola

Bring The Legend of the Indian Paintbrush to life with this fun and simple Scene Matching Game! This low-prep read-aloud companion gives students an opportunity to practice memory, observation, and visual recall while making connections to the story.

Students flip over two cards at a time, trying to find matching scenes. If the cards match, they keep the pair and play again. If they don't match, they turn the cards back over and use their memory to remember where each scene is located.

What's Included?

• Scene Matching Game cards
• Teacher directions
• Student-friendly game directions
• Matching scene cards designed to be played face down

How to Prepare

Simply print the cards on cardstock, cut them apart, and laminate for added durability. Place the cards face down with the blank white side facing up so students cannot see the pictures.

Ways to Use

Use this activity as:

• A whole-group game
• A partner activity
• A literacy center
• An independent or small-group activity
• An early-finisher activity
• A fun read-aloud companion

As students play, encourage them to describe the scenes they uncover and make connections to The Legend of the Indian Paintbrush.

Low Prep • Easy to Play • Great for Read-Alouds!
