Students take turns to flip over two cards in hopes that they get a match. If you aren’t already familiar with Memory this is how it works: Lay all cards facedown on the floor. This will only work if you have worked on word recognition with your kindergarteners. You will need the picture flashcard and the written word card for this game. You can make it competitive with older kids in your other classes. When you say go, they walk three steps, turn to face each other and say what the other student has. Give them each a different flashcard to hold facing out and away from them. When you pause the music have the kids who have the flashcards stand up and say what they have. As it plays, students pass the cards around. Give random students a flashcard: one for every 3 or four students you have in your group. The number it lands on is the card they say out loud. Each student gets a chance to toss the die up. (You can make one out of cardboard and tape to use for different activities in all your classes.) Put the numbers 1-6 on the board and a different flashcard or the vocab word next to each number. For larger groups, you could have two or three cards going around at once. Pass it to the kid sitting next to you and encourage him/her to say the word and pass it to the next person. That child then passes the card through his/her legs to the next person in line. Still facing forward, he/she passes the card over his/her head to the child behind. Give the flashcard to the first person in line. Two lines work well after the kids are used to the game and therefore can do it as a race. Have students make a line with an arm length’s space in between each child. Continue on until you when you hold the card over your head and are standing straight up the students shout the word. Hold the flashcard in front of you and squat down.

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.
