Play a Review Game

Print out complete sets of the pictures from all the previous lessons and this one. Print out enough sets so that you have one set for every four or five children in your class. Divide the children into groups of four or five. Give each group a set of pictures. On the word "go" see which team can place all the pictures in order first.
