Instructions for Genre Matching Cards

This PDF is contains large and small pictures representing each genre.

Each page contains a name card one large and 4 small pictures.

Print, cut and laminate each picture from each genre and each name card

This material can be used in several ways & here is a suggested exercise

1. Explain that art is grouped together in “families” known as genres. Each genre has things unique to it that all art in that family share. We are going to look at the five genres here and sort each picture into the correct genre.

2. Take the first genre name tag and explain what is unique about it. Then show the child an example of it from the four smaller art pieces. Help them identify and lay the others out below it. Continue with each genre, explaining it and then sorting until all have been placed.

3. Allow the student to peruse the art and each genre until they are ready to start the exercise again or put it away.

All downloads are for your personal use and can be used within your setting but cannot be sold or uploaded to your own website or social media page.
