Here are 32 picture cards, word lists, and example sentences using the f and v minimal pairs. These words are minimal pairs because they are pronounced the same way except for one sound. In minimal pairs with one syllable, this occurs at the start of the word (initial sound) and the end of the word (final sound).
This is a useful resource for teaching these sounds and will help young learners and non-native English speakers distinguish the 2 sounds. There is also a guide below on how to make the correct sounds with your mouth.
The cards can be used in any flashcard games you have, for a matching activity, a memory game, or just rote learning. You just need to print them and cut them out.
Some of the words in these minimal pairs are a little difficult for beginners but hopefully, they will pick up some new vocabulary along the way.
