Polygon Vocabulary

I was working with a student on learning the names for different polygons.  When we finished the worksheet, I opened a game online at http://www.mathplayground.com/matching_shapes.html.  It's a memory matching game where you can turn over only two cards at a time.  Under the cards are the names of the polygons, like octagon, parallelogram, rhombus, etc. and drawings of these figures.  As you match the words with the drawings, the matched cards remain uncovered until you finish the game.  We played the game twice--it was much easier than reviewing the worksheet even once!
