Mandala Matching Activity

You can download the sets below.

I found this site with syllabication rules already formatted for printing and cutting. I printed them out, laminated them, and punched a hole in the upper right hand corner. If you don't have a laminator, you can print the sheets out on cardstock paper for more durability. I used a plastic loose leaf snap ring to keep the cards together. I have already seen him use them quite a few times without being prompted and I was quite pleased to see that. Here is a close up of what the loose leaf snap rings look like.
