In this new twist to the traditional memory matching game, match 48 exquisitely designed animal tiles! All the animal images are designed by Native artists, including Corey Bulpitt, Ben Houstie, Eugene Isaac, Terry Starr and more. Many of these artists also contributed to the Native Explore puppets found here, and many of our other educational resources. The matching game is made with soy-based inks, non-toxic coatings, and all paper is from sustainable forests.
For more information on our resources by aboriginal artists, check out this post. For guidance on finding Aboriginal resources in the library, check out these helpful guides: How to find Aboriginal books and Infusing Aboriginal Perspectives in K-12 Teaching. In addition, be sure to take a look at the Deepening Knowledge Project, which includes a wealth of resources helping teachers to integrate Aboriginal peoples’ knowledge into their practice.
You can find a larger image of the Northwest Coast Native Animals Matching Game in the OISE Library K-12 Manipulatives Database. The database is designed to help OISE students discover our hands-on learning resources in specific subject areas, such as this kit found in “Arts: Visual Arts.”
Come try this game for yourself while its on the coffee table on the Ground Floor of the OISE Library!
