How to use these ESL flashcards

  • Vocabulary introduction:

    Show each card and model clear pronunciation; drill chorally and individually

  • Sorting and categories: Group months by seasons (winter, spring, summer, fall) or by themes (holidays, weather)

  • Grammar practice: Use with prepositions and ordinals (in January; the first month is January; February comes after January)

  • Memory and matching games: Play pairs, Go Fish, or pelmanism with picture-to-word cards; sequence them in calendar order

  • Guessing games: “Which month am I?” (e.g., "I have fireworks and celebrations") or “I spy a month with snow”

  • Speaking prompts: Build sentences with questions and descriptions (What do you do in July? My birthday is in May; October is spookier than September)

  • Assessment: Quick exit tickets or flashcard quizzes to check recall and ordering

    Laminate for durability: Ideal for centers, wall displays (create a classroom calendar), and repeated use in time-themed lessons
