Matching: Hardware (Readers)
In this activity, your learner will play a matching game. Learners will be given a sheet with images of hardware on one side and descriptions of users and an activity they are trying to do on the other side. Based on what the user is trying to do, the learners will draw lines to match the hardware items with the users and their activities. There are five different variations of this activity so that learners can practice more than once.
