I have a deep love for index cards. I have all sizes, kinds, colors. I have them on rings, I have them labeling items in my home in various languages. They are taped, folded, used for geometry, biology terms... I just LOVE them. And you should too.
1) A jillion uses for school subjects:
- math facts (writing that one they miss will really cause it to stick!)
- practicing letters and then spelling with them
- biology terms
- building sentences with words (Spanish/English)
- ordering historical events
- capitals and states/continents, etc
- labeling items in the house for foreign language
- geometry understanding formulas (Thank you #MathUSee)
- memorizing formulas
- vocabulary practice in general
- making simple math equations
2) Another several for life in general:
- chore choosing/ordering
- menu planning
- event/class prioritizing
- to-do items
- shopping lists
- budgeting (time and money)
- gift ideas to remember later
- choosing the movie tonight
3) Just for fun:
- encouraging notes
- doodle art
- origami
- playing "store"
- charades
- pictionary
- card stack houses
I also have blanks that match the size of your Flip Flop Spanish Flash Cards. the two sets I buy again and again in the Flip Flop Shop. So, go get some colored and white cards, if you'd like to match me, and fall in love with index cards.
