Flags Of Africa in a child's hands
Two sets of full colour nomenclature cards for the flags of Africa: one with separate labels for the child to match, and one control set labelled at the bottom for teaching and for checking. The separate labels are what turn looking into work, since a card and its name only come together if the child puts them there. Cards are plastic, chosen for durability, which matters for a set handled by a whole class. Plastic, for ages 3 to 6.
