Real Photo Language Cards: Compare and Contrast

These cards were created to be work on basic compare/contrast skills in three different activities: comparing and contrasting two pictures, which one doesn’t belong, and venn diagrams.  I provided a quick compare/contrast review to use with students if needed. The main purpose of this deck was to provide practice but you can use them to teach the concepts too. The picture stimuli are real photos that children can relate to. Comes with printable cards and BOOM cards. 

This purchase includes:

• 50 Compare/Contrast Cards. These cards have two pictures and the student is prompted to say how they are alike and different. Print version: the student can check the box with a dry erase marker. Boom version: The student will tap the checkmarks to circle them when they are finished. These cards are not self checking, they are designed to use with a therapist, teacher, or parent providing feedback. 
• 24 Which One Doesn’t Belong Cards: The student will look at four pictures and find the one that doesn’t belong. Print version: They will draw an X over the one that doesn’t belong with a dry erase marker (or simply touch it with their finger). They will fill in the blanks and put a checkmark in the boxes (optional). Boom version: They will drag the red X over the one that doesn’t belong. The student will finish the prompts on the card explaining their choice. They will tap the checkmarks to circle them when they are finished. These cards are self checking if the X is placed over a picture and checkmarks are circled (if the student selected the wrong picture, it will pop the X back to the side of the card and you will hear “whoops”sound, this is a BOOM card feature). 
• 15 Venn Diagram cards. Print version: Use a dry erase marker to write in the Venn diagram (or print in grayscale and use a pen/pencil). Boom version: The student will drag the facts that are unique to the two pictures to the outside of the circles. They will drag the facts they have in common to the middle where the circles overlap. These cards are self checking and if they answer wrong, it will pop the words back to the bottom and they can try again (it will play the “whoops” sound). 

BOOM CARD Instructions: Follow the instructions on the top of each card.

Printed version instructions: The student can use a dry erase marker to interact with cards (optional). The therapist, teacher, or student can read the instructions/prompts if needed. I recommend printing and laminating for continued use! The printable version includes all of the cards from the BOOM deck in a printable format. The Venn diagram are full page size to allow more room for writing in answers.
