learners
Flashcards are effective and easy to use, making them an ideal resource in
the primary classroom.
Here are ten simple ideas for using flashcards to
present or revise vocabulary.
If you have confident children in the class,
get them to take over your role as teacher.
1.
Point
Put six flashcards in different places around the room.
Say a word, and
children point to the relevant card.
2.
Clap hands
Hold up a flashcard and say a word.
If the word is the same as the item on
the card, the children clap their hands once.
If the word and the flashcard
item are different, they must keep silent.
3.
Odd one out
Take a lexical set of flashcards, e.
g.
animals or food.
Include one card that
is not in the same lexical set as the others.
Hold up each card in turn and
children say the name of the item.
When you show the card that is not in
the same lexical set, children call out Odd one out!
