5 Free Matching Task Boxes

A peek inside 5 free resources to add to your independent work library! If you have been following me, you will know that I offer many free task boxes that are SIMPLE just like these ones! I have many seasonal boxes, so today I am showing some that are not so seasonal!

Two levels of matching are included in this activity, picture to picture and picture to word. This makes it easy to quickly adapt depending on a students level.

I love using math tasks in work boxes- Here’s this one that works on 1:1 and word number matching- I love including multiple levels to meet your students needs.

Spring is the perfect time to bring out some animal boxes! My daughter is loving farm animals right now, so I’m going to let her use these in her sensory bin- but I thought your classrooms could use them too!

This would work perfect for a farm animal unit, animals unit, pet store unit, ESY, before a community outing to a farm, or just for fun!

HOW TO STORE!

These task boxes can be easily stored in a small plastic bin, like the one linked here (affiliate link), or in a shoebox! It it quick and easy to prep and will last forever with the right lamination! (hint, you can find my favorite kind here- it’s not scotch.) (affiliate link) Get the task box labels seen above here.
