To Make Your MatchCard more durable:
1. Put the student MatchCard and instructor
MatchCard back to back in a clear plastic page
protector.
2. Laminate the information pieces. Or you can
make them sturdier by covering the paper with
transparent tape prior to cutting the pieces out.
3. For more ideas on how to use the MatchCards,
and for keeping a notebook for review, see the
Instructor’s Guide.
