Use the flashcards to present the names of common furniture items to build foundational vocabulary. They are presented with clear images and the name of the item in an easy-to-read font. They also offer a visual and interactive way to learn and remember vocabulary.

The printable flashcards are helpful for students to associate the word with the visual image of the furniture, reinforcing memory.

Have the learners identify each one: This is a bathtub.

Room Sorting: Have students sort flashcards into categories based on the room where each piece of furniture is found.  Learners can describe where something is located in the house.

Teacher: The sink is in the bathroom.

Students: The toilet is in the bathroom.

Students can practice listening through the mind map. They will find the flashcards of the items that are in the living room and say the word of each one. Ask questions:

Teacher: Where is the lamp?
Students: The lamp is next to the sofa.

Continue by grouping more flashcards by room. This helps students make connections easier.

Place several flashcards on the board and ask: What it is? and then, Where does it go?

Teacher: What is this?
Students: It’s a lamp?
Teacher: Where does it go?
Students: The living room.

Counting furniture in a house using the grammar structure: There are.

Teacher: There are four chairs.

Make learning fun through this activity. Flashcard Bingo: Place 20 cards of the furniture items on the board. Have the students copy the written word of only 10 of them on a piece of paper or notebook. Call out the names and have students mark the corresponding item if they have written it. The winner is the one that crosses out all the words first.

Let’s say where people are.

Teacher: Where are they?

Students: They are on the chair.
