Dr. Seuss Matching Game - game board with matches madeDr. Seuss books can be incorporated all school year long into numerous teaching themes. And typically there's at least a week set aside to focus solely on this beloved author and his works. I came up with a simple matching game that uses several characters from different books. It doesn't take long to make and will last for years. The game is a perfect fit in the literacy/library center, as well as the quiet, 1-on-1 center.
