Designed for the pocket chart, Where's the Object? is a game for centers or whole group instruction where an object is hidden behind another object. A poem is chanted where the student(s) must say the number they think the hidden object is behind. Once guessed, the number is removed.

How it Works:

2. Write the number of the starting card in the top left square.
3. Look at the picture, say what it is and think about what letters/word matches.
4. Walk around the room searching for the letter/word match of the picture located in the oval in the top right of another card.
5. When found, write the answer on the line in the first box.
6. Following the arrow on their paper to box 2, write the number of this card in the box on the top left.
7. Repeat until all boxes are full. Students should return to starting card when completed.
