Lovely comments on the resource. 

Elementary ESL/EFL learners often struggle to remember vocabulary when words are introduced in lists. These **Face Unit Small Cards** provide compact, printable visuals that make learning facial features interactive and memorable. Perfect for matching, sorting, centers, partner activities, and speaking practice, these cards help students connect language to meaning with ease.

You can print the face unit small cards onto cardboard to play games and activities. Use them to consolidate new vocabulary. Students will be motivated to engage in the language to say hair and eye color.

Use the face unit cards for Sorting activities. Learners will sort the cards into categories/group. Have them explain their reasoning, for example, this sorting is by hair color. 

Students can sort the face unit cards by the hair length using hair adjectives. Use the pictures in the cards to appeal to your students. Expand the theme focusing on the grammar and vocabulary learned.

Ask questions: Who has long blond hair?
Students: Amelia!

Reinforcing the adjectives is an essential part of grammar development.

Connect the hair texture to sort the cards: curly or straight?

Students can practice essential questions using the cards. Hand them in a dry erase board and colorful markers.

 They can write questions and them another student or group of students answer using printable card.

Students can also write short texts to each card.

Once students know how to play tic tac toe , they can do it alone in groups of two or more.
