Back to School - Flash Card and Word Card Games
Flash card and word card games never seem to get old. It is because they are versatile, easy to use, long standing and children love them. These simple resources can assist you to teach and review anything in the classroom and at home as well. In this article I would like to share with you my favorite games and one or two useful advice. WHY USE FLASH CARDS? Reviewing is extremely important for learning, but teachers often forget or simply don't have enough time for this essential moment in teaching. You don't need much time for the flash card and the word card games. Five minutes are more than enough for a quick but enjoyable review. To get your children excited about review, use the power of emotions. Don't hesitate to show them that you are on the edge of your seat, on tenterhooks because you are waiting to see the results of the game. If the games are delightful the children will seek for more. Flash card games are a powerful tool for teaching. I love

Clip Cards - Precious Teaching Resourse
I am working as a primary English teacher. In the position that I was in this school year, without books, without resources for work, I was searching for some low cost ideas, that will work in my classroom. I made a tons of worksheets for my students. We made Fast Finishers Corner with these worksheets. It worked well, children loved it. I had worksheet after worksheet to check and I was so happy that my children are working with so much effort. I've been using a couple of old boxes for worksheet storage. They fit perfectly on our shelves and were the perfect size for holding our papers. However, they were far from pretty. It looks like this, not so pretty now. Meanwhile I didn't stop searching for better ideas...and I was thrilled beyond words when I found clip cards and task cards. Clip cards save paper. Instead of copying piles of worksheets, you need only copy , cut, and laminate the clip cards once and you can use them for years. I made my cards self-

Clip Cards - Colors
The addition clip cards were a huge success, especially with my kiddos, at home. That was the first time they had to use clothespins in a game. Then I saw the idea of self checking clip cards. It is far better... It is far better...This makes it easy for kids to work independently. Independent activities are boosting the children self-esteem and self-confidence. Building self-confidence is important for a child to grow up feeling happy and secure. To make the cards you simply cut around the edge, fold in half and glue it together. I like to laminate them , but it can be printed on a photo paper too. It is an easy to follow activity. All you need is a few clothespins. Pick the answers. Flip the card over to check is it correct. Learning about colors is an important part of a child's development. Color clip cards reinforces color recognition as well as fine motor skills. Perfect for k

Vocabulary Games and Activities - Growing Resource
I am so happy with these classroom games that I made with my students at the end of the year. We made three games Bang, Vocabulary Tower and A,AN Articles this time. We are planning to make more of them, so if you have some ideas feel free and share with us in the comment section. Each of these games are made for vocabulary practice, but you can change the content and practice whatever you want: math, science etc. My idea was to review this year's vocabulary and to prepare some activities for the future in the same time. My 2nd and 3rd graders really enjoyed making all those word cards, flash cards. We made tonnes of materials together, so we are ready for the following school year. Finally, we have attractively decorated cans for our favorite classroom games. BANG is one of my students favorite game. I am also playing it with my kiddos at home, all the time.
