The flashcards apply for a range of activities to include the 4 skills such as listening/speaking and reading/writing, but not leaving behind grammar and vocaubulary.

Facial features, adjectives for physical description

Introduce the physical appearance vocabulary.

Show a face part flashcard and have the students touch that part of the face and say the word. Listening the action helps internalize the new language.

Teacher: Touch your mouth! (Show the flashcard ) 

Play sit down. Show a facial feature flashcard as you say a statement.
Teacher: If you have gray hair, sit down! (Obviously no one will sit down)
If you have green eyes, sit down.
If you long red hair, sit down.
Continue with all the hair color /length and eyes. The winners will be the last one standing. Have the students say why they are the winners.
Students: He/she has short blonde hair and blue eyes.

Critical thinking is in use when students will analyse the flashcards. Practice the question word: What color?

Ask questions: What color is her hair?
Students: red!
Teacher: Does she have brown hair?
Students: Yes, she does.
Teacher: Does Tom have gray hair?
Students: No, he doesn’t.
Teacher: Who has blonde hair?
Students: Luca.

Discuss about hair length. Sort the flashcard by short and long.

Ask questions:
Teacher: Who has long hair?
Students: Sophia, Olivia, Emma and Amelia.
Teacher: Who has short hair?
Students: Owen.
Ask questions using color and length: Who has short blond hair?
Students: Ava.
Have your students describe themselves: I have long brown hair. Ask questions about their physical appearance.

You can continue working on this for more speaking practice with your students to gain confidence. Hand in the people mat to each student or group of students. Place it inside a clear plastic sheet for your students to check or write on it and erase it easily.
Describe a person and have the students guess the person and cross out on the mat: He has short black hair.
Students: Tom!
Have your students describe another person for the class to guess: She has long red hair!
students: Emma!
Then, students can play in pairs or small groups.

Play a little more with your students with these fun crazy hair flashcards. Kids have weird hairdo and colors. Say a sentence and students have to say the number of that person.

Teacher: She has purple hair!
Students: She’s number seven!
Say it backwards: Number twelve!
Teacher: He has orange hair.

Use the flashcards to graph from the color and length of the hair of the people in class and even more. Place them on the board and ask questions:
Who has black long hair?
Students: Olivia and Leny.

It can be graphing the curly and straight hair. Have the students come and stand under each flashcard and say how they look: I have straight hair.

And don’t miss graphing the eye color.

Students will feel a sense of progress and achievement as they move from learning the numbers 1 to 10 to the following set.

Numbers Small Cards to develop mathematical competence.

The small cards will aid to improve your students’ speaking and listening ability, it helps the very shy students.  These small cards will also motivate your students to participate in class. Include them in your lesson plan with some of the activities that you can find here. The small are great for your students but they are good for you, too.

Slap the Number card.

Have your students place all the Number small cards on a table. One student will be a caller of the number and the rest will slap the card. The first student to slap the correct card will win that card. You can also fold the word part of the card or simply cut it. Students will have fun as they use the new vocabualry to express their ideas.

TIC TAC TOE.

I got encouraged to create a game that students could use over and over again. Print the x and o, along the title of the game. Glue onto a cardboard and draw the lines as in a 3x3 grid. Place the small cards with or without the captions. Play by teams or by pairs. When a student says a correct number, it will be replaced by a x or o. Keep on playing until a team or students makes a tic-tac-toe.

Another activity is Pass the CD envelope. I am sure that you might old CD case. I love that they are easy to load the small cards into and fun to take out. Place random small cards into the CDs envelopes. Play some music, the one that students love in English. Students start passing the envelope between them with the numbers face down. Stop the music and the students with the envelope have to take out a number card and say the word. If it is correct, that student makes a point for themselves. Continue until the envelopes are empty.

If your students are very young, a little counting will be fun. I recycled some fun foam pieces that I had around the house and glued them onto cardboard cards that I cut as the same size as the small cards. Students can do some number correspondence or matching with the cards. They can also play memory.
