 How to Use

Cut apart the center of each page so that you have 10 total cards.

Use the cards in small groups or on-on-one. Have learners use poker
chips to cover each space as you tell them to or as they answer a
question about a picture’s name.

Note that each card has three levels of questions. Choose the
appropriate level(s) for your learners.

For more about these cards and how to use them, check out the video
in this blog post:
