Instructions for the teacher.

Print the flashcards on cardboard or thick paper. Glue the words on the back of the images. Laminate
them if you want them to last more time. You can use them in different ways.

1. Show them to the students, first the image and say the word. Than turn the card around and
show the word. Students have to repeat after you.

groups.

ask children to write down as many words as they can remember.
6. Put three flashcards on the board. The students have to compare them.
7. Give each student a flashcard and tell them to describe the animals in 3, 4 or 5 sentences.
8. Odd one out: Put 5 flashcards on the board, use one different subject. Ask them which one
doesn’t belong.
9. Put two flashcards about different subjects on the boards. Students have to make a sentence
using both.

the relevant card.
