Magazine Game

2 or more players
Ages: 2 - 5
Need magazines or Christmas cards

If playing during Christmas, use different Christmas cards. At other times you can use magazines.

Tear out 4 different pictures for each child. Cut each picture in half. Mix these up, then give back to the kids to match up their pictures.

You can play this to find a winner, in which case the winner will be the child who matches her pictures up first.

Or you can make every child a winner once he or she matches up the top and bottom halves of his or her pictures.

You can even play in teams. At "go" each child on each team assembles his puzzle. The team that gets all their puzzles together first is the winner.

For older kids, cut them into 4 or more pieces to make it more challenging for them.

Postcards are good to use, too.

This is a great activity for preschool and kindergarten classrooms.

Ask the students' parents to bring magazines they've read into school for this project.

Unused greeting cards are another good item to play this game with. Kids like pretty pictures!

Around Halloween, look through the magazines to find Halloween related pages. Use these pages to cut up as the kids' puzzle pieces.

Do the same around Easter. Look for bunnies, Easter baskets or candy themed pages to cut up and let the kids put back together.
