A great game to play with younger children for Anti-bullying week / Odd Sock Day
Simply trim the cards and hand out to children. You can either play a whole class game where children must find their matching sock partner, but beware someone will have an odd sock (unless you choose not to give out the odd sock).
OR, play a snap type game in smaller groups. You could turn over one card at a time or two cards. If the child spots a pair they get to keep them. The winner is the person with the most pairs of socks at the end of the game.
You could also use to aid counting in two’s.
