English Vocabulary Flashcards | Picture Word Cards for Pre-K | 26 Card Pages

English vocabulary flashcards with picture words

These English vocabulary flashcards are a packet of 26 card pages, each titled Vocabulary Flashcards with four big picture cards. Every card shows one everyday object with its word printed above it, such as apple, house, ball or train.

The set is made for pre-k and kindergarten children and for new English learners who are building their first words. The same words return on many pages in new borders and colors, so children meet each word again and again as they go through the pages. In all, the set has 104 cards. If you want English vocabulary flashcards that keep to one picture and one word, this set does exactly that, and nothing else crowds the card.

What’s on the pages

Each card page has a grid of four cards, two across and two down, under a Vocabulary Flashcards heading. The cards have dashed, dotted or solid borders in orange, green, blue, purple and red, and stars and confetti fill the page edges.

• Food: apple, banana, carrot, grape, cookie, cupcake and ice cream.
• Things at home and school: book, chair, house, pencil, crayon, key, umbrella and hat.
• Toys and play: ball, balloon, kite, robot, rocket, bike and star.
• Vehicles and nature: boat, ship, train, bus, truck, car, plane, tree, flower, sun, cloud and crown.

The pictures are objects only, with no people and no animals. A few objects, such as the sun, a cloud and a robot, have a small face.

What’s in the download

The English vocabulary flashcards pdf has 29 pages in total.

• Name page: 1 page with lines for name, class and date
• Picture word cards: 26 pages with four cards each
• Two closing pages with a thank you note and copyright information

Everything comes as PDF, so you can print one page for a small group or the whole set. A teacher who prints a few pages of English vocabulary flashcards each week can keep a center fresh all term. The words are already printed on the cards, so there is nothing to write by hand.

How to use the cards

Print the pages you want and cut the cards apart along their borders. Hold up a card, say the word and let the child repeat it. After a few rounds, hold up a card and ask the child to say the word first.

A few ways to use the cards:

• Lay out four cards and ask the child to point to the one you name.
• Sort the cards into things you eat, things you play with and things you ride.
• Play a memory game with two printed copies of the same page.
• Ask the child to use a card word in a short sentence.
• Leave a few pages with a substitute as a quick vocabulary activity.

English vocabulary flashcards work best in short rounds of four or five cards. Start with the words children use at home, such as apple, ball and house. Add a few new cards each lesson and bring back the older ones for review.

Teachers who need pre-k vocabulary flashcards can use the pages for circle time, and the same pages work as kindergarten vocabulary flashcards for early readers who sound out the word. Parents can treat them as English vocabulary cards for kids at the kitchen table. Take a look at the preview pages before you buy, so you can see the card styles and the pictures. A child who learned the word ball on one page will see it again, in a new border and a new color, a few pages later, and that kind of repeat visit is how new words become familiar ones.
