The Texture Matching Game is a hands-on sensory activity that encourages children to explore and identify different tactile surfaces through the sense of touch. Featuring 10 unique textures embedded in small individual cups and a matching set of textures on the board itself, the objective of the game is for children to match each cup to its corresponding texture on the board. This promotes sensory discrimination and early critical thinking skills. Designed with durable, child-safe materials, the board measures 27.5 cm x 11 cm x 35 cm — a practical size for table-top or floor-based learning. The activity can be completed with eyes open or used as a tactile guessing game with eyes closed to enhance sensory awareness and memory. Ideal for early learning centres, therapy rooms, or sensory circuits, this game encourages vocabulary building as children describe textures and build confidence in identifying similarities and differences through physical touch. Suitable for children aged 3 years and over, it’s a versatile addition to any sensory or early childhood development setting.
Educational Benefits
• Enhances tactile discrimination: Encourages children to identify and differentiate textures using only their sense of touch.
• Builds early cognitive skills: Supports pattern recognition, memory, and matching through sensory input.
• Develops descriptive language: Promotes expressive communication as children describe textures using sensory vocabulary.
• Supports independent learning: Offers a self-correcting, open-ended activity that fosters problem-solving and observation.
Classroom Ideas
• Sensory exploration station: Include as part of a rotating table-top activity focused on touch and comparison.
• Language enrichment task: Ask students to describe each texture in their own words and share with a partner.
• Therapy support game: Use in occupational therapy sessions to support sensory processing and attention to detail.
• Mindful tactile activity: Encourage quiet exploration with eyes closed to focus attention and sensory connection.
