This set of 20 cards contains 10 pairs of contractions (ex. one card with "has not" and its pair reading "hasn't").

I reccommend that the cards be printed on card stock and laminated before use, as there are a variety of ways to utilize these cards and durability is crucial!

Students can use these cards as a simple matching game with pairing the cards together. As an extension, students can write a sentence using each contraction that they've worked to make.

Students can use the cards to play a game of memory, starting with all of the cards flipped upside down. Students can take turns with a partner to flip over two cards at a time hoping for a contraction match!

Dependent on the number of students in your class, you could pass all of the cards out to the students and ask for them to find their contraction match to build in a little of movement into your day!

An answer key is not included, however each page contains two pairs aligned side by side for you to use as a guide.

Enjoy!
