### Assessment
- Observe students during the matching game and activity to see if they can correctly identify and name the craft items.
- Review the worksheets to check for understanding and correct matches.
### Extension Activity

- Encourage parents to assist and discuss the items and their uses with their children.
### Reflection
- After the lesson, reflect on which students struggled with identifying the items and plan for follow-up activities to reinforce learning.
