School unit flashcards for ESL students

I updated the school unit flashcards. I thought that adding more words and using nicer clipart would be a bonus for teachers. Many of you have bought it and now you will have both versions. If there are words that you would like me to add, let me know.

More than 250 flashcards for the classroom objects on this resource and just a few tips on how to use them in class. You can use my flashcards or the ones that come with your book series.Link:

Watch the video using the flashcards.

Flashcards with visuals that provide clear context. If your students are a little more advanced review there is and there are. Divide the board in two and write the phrases. I used pencil and books.

Teacher: There is a pencil. There are books.

Students can find more flashcards to make more examples.

Flashcards  that are perfect for whole-class activities, small group instruction, centers, and independent practice.

I always find labeling fun. You can do one the board as an example. 

Label the body parts, clothes and school objects.(Labeling)

Teacher: name the body parts.

Students: mouth! Eyes! Leg!

Teacher: name the clothes.

Students: dress! shoe!

Teacher: name the school objects.

Students: lunch bag! backpack!

 Improving their speaking skills in a natural way. Then, assign red for body parts. Ask students to name all the body parts and you circle them. Do the same for clothes and school objects.

Students can do the same using the flashcards. I placed the flashcard into a plastic sheet to go on paperless. Have the students use a blue whiteboard marker for labeling the body parts as they practice pronunciation.

Then, use a black whiteboard marker for labeling the clothes and the school objects.

Flashcards 3. Select a letter of the alphabet and have the students say all the words that start with the letter. As they name the word place the flashcard on the board. Then, have the students do the same on their notebooks with another letter. I chose letter P for this example.

Flashcards 4. Order alphabetically. Write the letters from A to Z on the board and the students find the flashcards to place under each letter.

Flashcards 5. Classroom Monsters. Give a flashcard on a plastic sheet to each student and have them create a monster. I did this one with scissors. I added hair, eyes, nose, mouth, shoes. I guess students are more creative than me, but it will work to show the students the task before they start their own. Students can show their work to the class.

Student: This is my scissors monster. It has black hair. Its eyes are blue and big. It is happy. She is wearing shoes.

Flashcards 6. Sorting the flashcards into categories. I wrote these categories on the board. Students find the flashcards for each category.

Flashcards 7. Name the flashcard. Make a grid on the board using the flashcards. I did this simple one as an example for you.

Teacher: C3!

Students: pencil case!

Flashcards 8. Related words! I placed the pencil case flashcard in the middle of the board. Have the students name all the things that a person can find in a pencil case. As they name the words, place the flashcard or write the word. This is like doing a mind map.

Flashcards 9. Use puzzles when working with the little ones.
