Match common classroom supplies with what each one is used for.
Naming tools precisely is an early literacy skill. These pairs cover the supplies students reach for daily, connecting each object to its purpose rather than just its name.
Students match supplies to their uses: ERASER with the rubber tool that removes pencil marks, BINDER with the ringed cover that holds punched paper, and RULER with the straight tool for measuring and drawing lines.
Pair this with a supply scavenger hunt. Read a definition aloud and have students hold up the matching item from their own desk. It doubles as a way to check that everyone has what they need.
