Vocabulary Activity

I have found the use of flash cards in learning vocabulary terms is highly effective for all students. I use colored index cards as cues to help students recall a distinctive characteristic about the information on a flash card. For example, if you are using flash cards to remember vocabulary words, use a different color for words that have different connotations. Students can illustrate the card by drawing pictures or a symbol that represents the word’s meaning. The more you work at making a card distinctive and interesting, the easier you will find it to recall the information on the card. Flash cards are easy to make, easy to use, and are a great tool for remembering information.
