Flashcard Games

  • 4 Corners
    Review items on 4 flashcards until students know them. Place a different flashcard on each of the 4 walls. Call out the flashcard’s picture and students run to that wall and touch it.
  • Touch Game
    Hand out a set of flashcards to students in groups of 6 to play touch game. Teacher calls out a letter, and a student takes it. The goal is to collect as many cards as possible.
  • The Alphabet Game
    Give each student an alphabet flashcard with a different letter of the alphabet on it, starting at "A" (e.g. if you have 7 Ss, give flashcards A through to G). Have them move around the room to music. When the music stops, they must line up in order.
  • Basketball
    Divide class into 2 teams. A basket is set up at the front of the room, and 2 teams line up to shoot the ball. First show a flashcard to S1. If s/he answers correctly then s/he can have a shot at the basket. If the S gets the ball in the basket then s/he wins 2 points. If the S hits the basket without going inside then s/he wins 1 point. The team who gets the most points is the winner.
