Pets Mix 'N' Match Cards

The Pets Mix ’n’ Match Cards are an interactive language resource designed to support students in learning, recognising and confidently using pet-related vocabulary in the target language through structured matching and retrieval practice.

This card set separates pet images and written words, requiring students to actively match meaning to language. This process strengthens recognition, recall, and accurate use of vocabulary while encouraging hands-on engagement with familiar animal language.

Designed for classroom teachers, specialist language teachers and homeschoolers, these cards function as an instructional tool that supports consolidation and active use of language already taught.
