A quick game using vocabulary cards

Posted by Alvaro under: Resources

Most people need to see or hear new vocabulary at least six times before they can remember it. This is a fact that makes our jobs as foreign language teachers especially challenging: how can we review so much without making our classes too repetitive and boring? Fortunately, there are different strategies we can use to review vocabulary, and the combination of them is what can help us to keep the interest and attention of our students. One of our favorite methods to work with words is through vocabulary cards. In this video we’d like to present a quick but very effective game to review a large number of words in a fun way. We have also added a set number 2. The new set covers different topics, including shopping, holiday, sports and leisure.

Where can I get the vocabulary cards?

You can download the .PDF file of our vocabulary cards from the “Vocabulary Cards” section of this site: http://www.bablingua.com/bl/vocabulary_cards

You’ll still have to print them, cut them and laminate them, but with the help of an assistant or your own students it shouldn’t take too long.
