Touch-Photo Sensory Game 32 Cards

The Touch-Photo Sensory Game by Akros is a tactile and visual learning experience designed to strengthen sensory development and cognitive skills in young children. Ideal for children aged 3 years and over, this hands-on educational game invites learners to explore and recognise textures using both touch and sight. By matching 16 textured cards with 16 corresponding photographic image cards, children develop tactile discrimination, memory, and early descriptive vocabulary.

Each of the eight unique textures is duplicated, allowing for multiple ways to play and repeat associations. The inclusion of two eye masks makes the game more interactive, encouraging children to rely on their sense of touch alone during certain activities. This feature also supports sensory processing in inclusive learning environments, making the game particularly beneficial for children with additional needs.

Set includes:

• 16 texture cards (8 textures, duplicated)
• 16 photo cards featuring matching textured objects
• 2 blindfolds
• 1 sheet of numbered stickers (1 to 8, in duplicate)

Educational Benefits:

• Enhances tactile discrimination by encouraging exploration of varied textures.
• Develops visual-tactile association skills and sensory memory.
• Builds descriptive language and vocabulary related to object textures (e.g. rough, smooth, soft).
• Encourages attention, concentration, and turn-taking through structured gameplay.

Classroom Ideas:

• Blindfold Match: Children use the eye masks and try to match the texture card with its corresponding photo based solely on touch.
• Descriptive Discussion: After matching, prompt children to describe each texture and relate it to their own sensory experiences.
• Sorting Challenge: Sort texture cards from softest to roughest, encouraging comparative language use.
• Sensory Station: Include the set in a tactile exploration area for independent or paired play.
