Critical Thinking Comparison Cards

These cards are designed to be used as a visual aid to help teach the critical thinking skill of comparing one object to another. To use them, simply show the children the card and ask them, “How are these two things alike? How are they different?” Children develop valuable language and thinking skills as they describe, discuss, and compare the uses and categories of each object.

Students may also enjoy coloring them. These cards are especially helpful as a visual aid for second language children or kids with language deficiencies who may not know what it is you are talking about. This can also help the teacher meet goals in basic language instruction, while at the same doing Critical Thinking Skills with the rest of the children.
