These printable Leaf Visual Discrimination Games help kids practice the skills needed to distinguish between similar letters and numbers in Pre-K, Preschool, and Kindergarten.
Visual discrimination skills are so important for young children because it helps them to be able to identify letters and numbers. This skill helps children distinguish between similar letter shapes such as p, q, b, d, as well as similar numbers and shapes.
These are free downloadable printables.

Leaf Matching Cards
Prepare the Sets
To prepare the sets, print them onto card stock paper (download button is below), and laminate if you choose. You will need to print it twice, so that there is a set to match.
What to Do
Children will spread out the cards and find the leaves that are exactly the same. I added these cards to our Science Center because these are photographs of real leaves and children are using observational skills to notice differences in nature.

Leaf Same and Different Game
Prepare the Set
To prepare the sets, print the cards onto card stock paper (download button is below), and laminate if you choose. Cut the cards apart: there are four cards per sheet. I recommend cutting the cards apart, because leaving all of them on one mat would be visually confusing for children.
What to Do
Each card has four pictures: 3 pictures are the same and 1 picture is different. Children will choose a card and carefully look at each picture. They will find the picture that is different and mark it with a manipulative. The cards have varying levels of difficulty. For beginners, start with the cards on the first page.
There are lots of options for manipulatives to use for marking the answer on the cards.
Manipulatives to use:
- Clothespins
- Plastic chips
- Unifix cubes
- Marker caps
- Table scatter
- Mini erasers
- Flat floral marbles
