Places Flashcards

The purpose of these flashcards is to introduce the three areas of vocabulary:

(1) Common ways that we refer to people such as a man, a woman, some children, an employee, and a waiter.

(2) Places and the preposition at: at the hospital, at the restaurant, at the beach

(3) Some common verbs and their objects such as standing in line, ordering food, taking a break, and relaxing.

Relative Clause/Job Cards

Each job has two cards in the form of relative clauses that describe the job. Students have to match the two descriptions. The conversation should go something like this:

S2: Do you know somebody who digs for coal?

S2: Do you mean a miner?

S1: Yes, I do.

S2: No, I'm sorry. Go fish.

               or

      Yes, Here it is.

Monster Fashion Show: Clothes Vocabulary Flashcards

.

These cards can be used at two levels. One is simply to introduce the clothes item such as jacket or boots. The other is to introduce the clothes item along with some words that might possibly describe it such as leather jacket or striped suit.

Fish is a good game to play with these cards:

A: Are you wearing a silk blouse?

B: Yes, I am. (No, I'm not. Go fish.)

Feelings and Emotions

Flash Cards

There is a lot of good vocabulary work contained in the cards including various synonyms for emotions (angry, furious, mad...).

This game plays like the game fish, but with a catch: First they have to ask if the other student has that emotion and then they ask about the reason. They have to match both reason and emotion to get the point. When asking about emotion, they can choose from any of the possible synonym for the emotion.

S1: Are you sad (upset, depressed)?

S2: Yes, I am. (Or: No, I'm not. Go fish.)

S1: Are you sad because your best friend is moving to another city?

S2: Yes, I am. (Or: No, I'm not. Go fish.)

In order to play this game, you will have to print off two sets of cards and glue them onto poster board and cut them out.

Team Sports Flashcards

There are a lot of cards so you may wish to pick and choose what vocabulary or sports you want to cover. I tried to avoid overly technical vocabulary and concentrate on words that convey action in sports.

Some terms covered are:

          A soccer player heading the ball.

          A goalie making a save.

          A referee calling a penalty.
