Matching Pairs — Botanical/Index Variant
A botanical-index styled matching activity where learners pair items across two columns with photo-led tiles and an editorial register. Pilots a 'plant index' match but the pattern fits any photo-to-name or visual-to-concept pairing.
Best for: Visual reference lessons where matching depends on recognizing photographs or illustrations — plants, animals, products, art.

What it does
- Two-column matching layout — photographs on one side, names or descriptions on the other; learners click or drag to connect each pair
- Photo-led tiles — large, beautiful images carry the visual weight on one column
- Instant correctness feedback — correct matches confirm with a calm settle; wrong matches release with a soft cue
- Connection visuals — paired colors, lines, or border highlights confirm which photo maps to which name
- Reveal detail (optional) — once paired correctly, a small fact or note can appear to deepen the lesson
- Completion close — ends with a quiet confirmation and optional next-step prompt
Best use cases
- Botany and gardening — match plants to names, families, or care needs
- Wildlife and nature — pair animals with habitats or species names
- Cooking and ingredients — match herbs, spices, or produce to names
- Art and design — pair works to artists or styles to movements
- Product education — match product photos to model names or features
What you can change with your DNA
When you run this through the remix skill, your CCOS DNA — brand, voice, audience — drives these decisions automatically:
- Colors — slots for page background, column backgrounds, item color, accent color, and feedback states; works beautifully with paper-tone, sage, or natural palettes
- Fonts — two roles: a serif or editorial sans for headings and names, and a clean body font for descriptions
- Copy — the prompt, column headers, photo captions, names or descriptions, optional reveal facts, completion message
- Images — the photography is the largest customization; swap entirely to fit your niche
- Behavior — choose click-to-pair vs. draw-a-line, whether reveal detail shows after correct matches, and how completion is celebrated
