Classroom Objects Flashcards (with article) DOWNLOAD Pack 2 (Kindergarten / Elementary level)
Pack 2 comes with the word’s indefinite article, So instead of reading ‘pencil’, they read ‘a pencil’. It should be noted that some words are in the plural form such as ‘crayons’ and color pencils’. Also, be careful of the word ‘glue’ as it is an uncountable noun! In the future I home to make plural flashcards, so please avoid using that target with these cards.

How to teach classroom objects in kindergarten!
Classroom objects can be a boring topic to teach in class, so feel free to limit the number of flashcards you use. If all the vocabulary is completely new, I would only use 6-8 cards at a time. Try to gradually introduce new words when they become relevant. Try to relate the picture on the flashcard to what your student can see in real life. For example, if you are teaching the word ‘door’, ask your students if they can see a door. If it safe to do so, you might even ask a student to go and touch the object. This will focus the children more and create a little excitement as they search for the object.
Because there are so many cards, they are useful in large classes too. Print two sets and place them face down. Have the children chant the target question and have the student repeat as they turn over the card and try to find the pair.
Don’t worry if your children have trouble remembering a lot of the words, try to use the classroom vocabulary in conversation. Chances are that you will be using words like door, pencil, and calendar a lot in class anyway : D
Young learners tend to remember the items that they like, so think about this as you introduce the next few flashcards. Try to personalize the experience by asking what color their bag is or if they have any of the items at home. Try to have a conversation rather than just drilling each time. It’s ok to repeat a few times, but show the children that the words can be used for communication : )
As for ESL students, there is a lot of grammar that can be taught with these cards, but try to only use 1 to 2 targets per flashcard set. As time progresses, you can carry over the difficult flashcards onto next month’s lesson using it as a way to review the target. Below is some suggested grammar to use with the cards.
