Food and Drinks Flashcards | Printable Food Vocabulary Cards | 77 Card Pages

Food and drinks flashcards for early English words

These food and drinks flashcards are a packet of 77 card pages, each with a grid of food and drink pictures and one printed word under every picture. Most pages hold nine cards in three rows, and a few hold six larger ones.

The set is made for children who are learning food words in English, and for teachers or parents who want a long run of cards to practise with. The same foods return on many pages in new borders and colors, so the words come back again and again as children go through the pages.

If you need food vocabulary flashcards that cover meals, snacks and drinks in one place, this set does that without a second download. It also works as drinks flashcards for kids, because water, milk, juice, tea and coffee each get their own cards. A parent who wants a simple flashcards food and drinks pdf for the kitchen table can print a page, cut it and start.

What’s on the pages

Each card page has a heading that reads Food and Drinks or Food and Drinks! and a grid of cards. The borders are dotted, solid or colored, and small stars and confetti decorate the edges, so the 77 pages do not all look alike.

• Fruit and vegetables: apple, banana, grapes, strawberry, watermelon, orange, carrot and broccoli.
• Meals and snacks: pizza, burger, cheeseburger, spaghetti, sandwich, french fries, cereal, soup and popcorn.
• Baked foods and sweets: bread, cookie, donut, muffin, cupcake, cake and ice cream.
• Drinks: water, milk, juice, orange juice, tea, coffee, hot chocolate and soda.

Other foods turn up on some pages too, such as eggs, cheese, yogurt, rice and chicken. The picture is large and the word is printed below it in a clear, round font.

What’s in the download

The food and drinks flashcards pdf has 80 pages in total.

• Name page: 1 page with lines for name, class and date
• Food and drink cards: 77 pages
• 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 print the whole set. The food and drinks flashcards printable pages need no cutting guides or extra setup, and each card already carries its word.

How to use food and drinks flashcards in class or at home

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.

Ideas for using the cards:

• Show two cards and ask which one is a drink and which one is a food.
• Lay out nine cards from one page and ask the child to point to the one you name.
• Set up a pretend cafe table and let children pick the cards they want to order.
• Ask each child to find a card that matches their lunch.
• Leave a few pages with a substitute as a quick vocabulary activity.

Food and drinks flashcards work best in short rounds of five or six cards. Add a few new cards each lesson and bring back the older ones for review. Sorting the cards into foods and drinks at the end of a lesson is an easy way to check what children remember.

Take a look at the preview pages before you buy, so you can see the layout and the pictures.
