Want some more games for young learners? Active Games for Young Learners Quiet-LoudĪ personal favourite, this game will liven up any class. Students can shout out and guess what it is. Slowly slide the cover paper to reveal only a small part of the flashcard at a time. Use a blank or piece of coloured paper to cover the flashcard. You can do this in different ways to make it more exciting, such as from side to side and a simple flash turnover. Students try to guess what it is they saw. Having the flashcards facing down and away from you, start low and raise the flashcard above you head quickly so that the image shows but only for a second. Use the flashcards so that you know which word to say and to show students if they are correct. You can change things up by making it a race or laying out a circle instead. Have students jump and say the flashcard they land next to. Depending on your class size, you can either have one student or one student on each side of the line. Line the flashcards in a straight row with space in between on the floor. With this age group, as long as you are excited, they will be too! Jump and Say Flashcards are very versatile and don’t have to be used solely for drilling, as you will shortly see. If you think flashcards are boring or if you are looking for some new games to spice things up, then you have come to the right place.
