Description
My Mitten Matching Game is perfect for practicing identifying letters and matching lowercase and uppercase letters. This game can be played in two ways: Matching or Go Fish. It is perfect for small groups, partner work, individual practice, RTI, and special education settings.
Matching: 1-4 Players. Shuffle the cards and place them face down in rows. You can use all letters, or have students play with just a portion of the deck. For my youngest students, I usually only have them use 10 letters (20 cards) at a time, so that the game does not become too overwhelming. Players take turns choosing two cards to see if they match. If they make a match, they keep the cards. If not, they flip them back and it is the next player's turn.
Go Fish: 2-5 players. Deal 5 cards to each player and place the rest of the cards face down in a pile in the center. Players take turns asking each other for certain letters. For example: "I have capital 'A,' do you have little 'a'?" If a player does not have the letter, then they respond with "Go fish!" and the first player takes a card from the center pile.

This was a great early finisher activity for my students still working on letters. Thank you for this resource!
fun easy game for the littles to do! they loved matching mittens with our mitten theme
Very engaging. My students loved it! This will be a resource I use for years to come!
Great resource!
thanks
I used this for Go Fish with my first graders and they LOVED it! Great resource!
Thank you!!!
Super cute! Best for students struggling with matching upper and lowercase letters because they can use the colors of the mittens to match and still be successful. To that same point, this activity is not as good for middling students who are very smart, but don't yet know all their letters. Those students tend to match the colors quickly without even looking at the letters.
