These cards use easy-to-read fonts for beginning readers.
Graphics on the cards match lessons and Trading Cards
Memorization Games
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.
Adhere the cards to magnets and use a cookie sheet or magnetic white board to
put the cards in order.
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).
Review Game contributed by helpful reader Paula
With the books of the Bible cards, after they have been passed out (depending on
class size, each student can have at least 3 cards), the teacher can name a
book, a story that is found in one of the books, an animal, a place, etc. and
whoever has it puts it down on the table. It can be done in teams and the team
that gets all cards on the table first wins. Of course, don't give out all the
cards and randomly give info.
Right
click on the link and choose "Save Target As..." (IE) or "Save Link As"
(Firefox)
to save the file to your computer. Open the copy on your
PC and print from there. 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.
