Ideas for using the toys flashcards
There are many things that these picture and word cards can be used for, some ideas are –
- Memory games
- Picture and word matching (simply cut the words from the bottom of the cards for this).
- Classroom treasure hunt (hide the words around the classroom and ask learners to find them).
- Scavenger hunt (you can ask children to find the toys if you have some of them on hand).
- Slap the board (attach several toy flashcards to a white board, and then call out one of the words. Students are to race to the board and slap the correct card.
Another good activity that works well in the classroom is to get learners to find their matching toy word or card. You can either print 2 sets of cards for this or cut the toy names off the cards.
Once this is done, give each student several cards/words and get them to find the person with the corresponding card. It can be a very simple speaking exercise where learners approach each other and ask, “Do you have a skateboard?” (For example). Students are to answer “Yes, I do” or “No, I don’t”. If they do have the card asked for, they are to hand it over. The object for each student is to get matching pairs for all of their toys flashcards.
One thing to remember is that there are some plurals, such as blocks and marbles. In this case, they of course should not use the article a in their questions. Depending on the class level, they can simply ask “Do you have marbles?” or “Do you have any marbles?”.
