Flashcard Activities

These activities can be done with any type of flash cards...

One set:
  • Show cards to your kiddo and have them say it's name (or sound).
  • Sort cards by words they know and don't know.
  • Tape cards around the house.  Have them read the card as they pass by.
  • Hang from door frames or ceiling - have them jump up and touch words as they read them.
    • Modify this activity to have them jump up and grab the card
  • Spread out in a line or curve - have your kiddo read them, then jump or step over them
  • Hide the cards around the house for them to find, then read
  • Sort cards by beginning letters / sounds, number of letters, number of syllables.
  • Attach to a game board, using a dice and game pieces, have your kiddo role the dice and move that many spaces.  The space they land on they must read.  If they can't, have them go back to where they started.
  • Have your kiddo make sentences using the flashcards to make sentences
  • Have your kiddo use the flashcards to build the letter or word using legos, beads, playdough, glue and scrap paper, etc.
Multiple sets (if you make more flashcards)
  • With 2 sets
    • Play Concentration - have your kiddo flip over and read cards.  If they match, they keep them! 
    • Play 'Go Fish!'
