Files Included

Version 2 – Plain Cards (No Background) Perfect for low-ink printing or if you prefer to print on colored paper or cardstock.

Printing Instructions

For the background version, print the pages double-sided so the star pattern appears on the back of each card.

Please note: because one page contains multiple cards, the star pattern may appear slightly different on each card once cut out. This is normal and will not affect gameplay.

For best results, print on cardstock and laminate the cards for durability.

This resource works well for:
• Preschool – Year 2
• Literacy centers
• Early finishers
• Dinosaur-themed units
• Memory and vocabulary practice

Simply print, laminate (optional), and cut for a reusable, hands-on classroom activity.
