Ideas for using the flashcards
Introduce symbol card first, then symbol with word card, and finally word card.
You will need to print off 2 sets of cards for some of the activities.
Pairs
Pairs is a memory card game in which a pack of cards is spread out face down and players try to turn up pairs with the same
picture.
Players take turns to turn over 2 cards, say what they see and if they find a matching pair they keep it.
Player with the most matching pairs at the end of the game is the winner.
Find the matching cards. Stick one set of cards around the room and give the child the other set to find and match.
Post the cards. Using an old shoebox with a slot cut into it take turns to say what's on the card and post into the box.
Part - whole recognition game
The eye tends to complete a picture or shape so we recognise things even if we only see a little bit. But this skill is one we
learn and improve at. If you show your picture emerging very slowly from behind a plain book, how soon can he / she
recognise it and find the matching card. Make the picture come out from different edges of the book so he / she sees a
different bit first.
Comprehension for description
You hold your card and give clues about the picture and see if he / she can pick correct matching card.
