A Step By Step Guide Of How to Print Flashcards!

I have tried various ways to print the flashcards and found the following method to be the easiest! The simplest method is to download the PDF versions of the flashcards and print the file in the desired page size. If you would like more control over the print layout of your flashcards, you can also try the following method.

First, download the flashcards to your computer. Next, select all the cards you would like to print, right-click and select print. Once the images open, you can select exactly what paper size you would like and how many cards you would like to be printed on each page. Click on the layout you prefer and be sure that the ‘fit picture’ tick box is NOT selected. Reading this might sound very technical, but after you have done it once, it’s easy to remember.

How To Make Your Flashcards Indestructible!

After printing your flashcards, the best way to make sure they last a long time in the classroom is to laminate them. Laminators are easy to use and relatively cheap considering how much they will improve your flashcards and help extend their use for games and activities on the floor and outside.
