Combino About Me Game

Stimulate visual discrimination skills by completing incomplete images. Combino - about me consists of various assignment cards, with 8 related transparent image cards. Children find the right connection and place the transparent image card on the corresponding image on the assignment card.

The theme is ‘about me’ and contains dressing up, general and personal hygiene, being ill, sports and body parts. For example: the assignment card dressing up contains a boy that has put on a shirt and shoes but is still in his underpants. This corresponds with the transparent card with a pair of trousers. By putting it on top of the assignment card, the image is a dressed-up boy. On the body parts assignment card, the corresponding body parts are placed within a circle on the transparent card. This circle can also be found on the assignment card. This has been done because the images would otherwise be hard to see.

This game mainly contains a lot of language elements; children practice visual discrimination and increase their vocabulary. They also practice the math skill Sorting.  Ages 3yrs+.

Key Educational Benefits:

• Enhances Visual Discrimination Skills. This activity requires children to identify subtle differences and similarities in images, such as distinguishing between a dressed and undressed figure. Such tasks improve their ability to notice details, a skill crucial for reading, writing, and overall cognitive development.
• Expands Vocabulary and Language Skills. Each theme—ranging from dressing up to personal hygiene—introduces new terms and concepts. As children match images to their corresponding overlays, they learn to associate words with visual representations, thereby enhancing their language acquisition and comprehension.
• Promotes Sorting and Categorisation. The activity involves sorting transparent image cards based on themes like body parts, illness, or hygiene. This sorting process helps children develop categorization skills, which are foundational for mathematical thinking and problem-solving.
• Encourages Independent Learning and Self-Assessment. The self-check feature allows children to verify their own work, fostering independence and confidence in their abilities. This aspect of the activity supports the development of self-regulation and critical thinking skills.
