Adapting flashcards

This is a useful extra-material, the minicards or miniflashcards. It is a sheet which includes all the vocabulary of each unit (7-8 words). 

How can we use it? 

- Memory game

- Different cards game: odd one out, for instance.

- Copying the vocabulary on the other face and repeating the words.

- Making pairs.

- The teacher says a word and the students raise their hands showing the corresponding card

How can we adapt it?

This material is inclusive by itself, but just in case we need to personalise it for students with special needs, as it is my case, here you are some ways to do it.

- Give students new ways of writing: filling the blanks in the same face of the picture; copy the name of the object in capital letters and below that draw lines enough to copy the full word.

- Ask the student to repeat with you: some students need your help more than others. Meanwhile the group-class is playing with the cards, ask him or her to come to your table and repeat what you say, showing the minicard clearly. Then integrate the student with a couple of children which are playing or finishing. Working in small groups and with their classmates will make it easy for them to understand.
