Great for all ages

Preschoolers can associate the names to the pictures before they can read.
These cards use easy-to-read fonts for beginning readers.
Graphics on the cards match lessons and Trading Cards

Memorization
Lay the cards out on a table in order. Point to each in turn and have the students say the card. Help them learn to pronounce the names correctly. After reviewing all the cards, turn a few random cards over. Review the whole list again, depending on the students to say the names of the over-turned cards. Turn more over each time until the students can repeat the whole set.

Mix up the set and give the class a time limit to get as many in order as possible. Divide the class into teams if you have lots of students and give each team a set.

Concentration
Make two sets to make a concentration game. Make the students pronounce each name as they turn them over. For older kids, ask students a review question when they find a matching set. To help keep them from seeing through the cards, print the second side (available above).

Print Troubleshooting
The cards are laid out to fit on business card sheets 2 across and 5 down, centered vertically with no margin between the cards, on an 8.5"x11" sheet of paper (letter size US). If yours don't fit on the cards, try checking your Adobe Print Settings.

Adobe Reader's Print Dialog Box will often have "Fit to Printer Margins" selected be default under Page Scaling in the section. Change that to "None". Also, make sure "Auto-Rotate and Center" is unchecked. Both of these options can result in Adobe resizing the page, which causes the cards to not fit.
