Suggested Activities
Flashcard games and activities are grouped into five categories:
• general activities and games that can be used in large or small classes
• more challenging activities and games
• activities and games that work best with small classes
• activities and games that help students learn to spell the vocabulary
• activities and games that help students learn phonics
These types of activities and games will help students use and recycle vocabulary, as well as learn new
vocabulary. They can be used to provide multiple exposures to target language, something that research
has shown to be a highly effective tool in teaching and learning English.
