Same or Different Everyday Objects Quick Sheet

How to use this

• What it builds

  Eight pairs of pictures, like two apples or a balloon and a book, sit beside the words same and different. Your child looks at each pair and circles one choice. Four pairs match and four do not. A last box asks them to point to the detail that helped them choose.

• Ready when

  Naming simple things like an apple, a star and a moon is enough. Reading is not needed, because you read the two words aloud. Pointing to the answer is fine at first.

• How to run it

  Read same and different with your child and point to each word. Look at one pair at a time, covering the others if it helps. Ask, are these the same, and how do you know? Let them circle, or point while you circle. The answer page marks the four same pairs and the four different ones.
