 Re: Flash Cards
I work with children, so I use flashcards everytime I introduce a new topic. I have some pretty big classes, so some of the activities I use:
-Kim's game - put the flashcards up on the board. Ask the kids to close their eyes, and take away one or two of the cards - ask them which ones are missing
-have an envelope with some holes cut in it that fits your flashcards - put a flashcard inside. You should be able to see part of the image - ask the kids what it is.
- distribute the flashcards to different kids in the class, and have the rest point to the one you say, or have multiple copies of the flashcards and have them hold theirs up when you say the word.
After the kids have learned the vocabulary, we also play the imaginatively named 'drawing game', where someone comes up to the board and draws one line of an object. The other kids try to guess what it is, with the student adding a little to the drawing after every question.
Hope that helps! |
