Types of Buildings For Kids - FlashCards

-

 Hello friends,

As you must have learned by now if you are a regular visitor of my website or my FaceBook page I am a passionate believer in the power of flashcards. Give a colorful picture on one side of a card and some information on the other side and this is enough to grab a child's attention. Flashcards are small so they give an impression of a game instead of studies and children can relate to them more and enjoy their learning process. Also, bite-size information is easily digested by small minds. So, after the success of my Geography Flashcards, I thought about doing the same thing for building types. Actually, I had thought about building types even before doing the landforms flash cards. I was thinking of doing reading comprehension worksheets with them. But after I saw how successfully the Geography flashcards were received by my FB page followers, I decided to forgo proper reading comprehension worksheets and decided to do flashcards instead. 

Flashcards are perfect for this task as information, reading comprehension, social studies, and vocabulary are all rolled into one piece of card. I have tried to use simple English that can be understood by Kindergarten to Grade 3-aged children. Every card has a picture and name on one side and a description on the other side.

How to Use:
1. Cut out an A4 size cardboard paper or you can even recycle an empty cereal box. 
2. Cut in the middle lengthwise. 
3. Print out the flashcards on A4 size paper.

* If you regularly do worksheets with your children, then as a parent I would personally recommend purchasing an inktank printer such as Canon's megatank printer. I am in love with how economical and efficient these new ink tank printers are; the printer has made my life so much easier as I don't have to rush to the market to get printouts and the printer doesn't even require frequent refills: a win-win situation! The following printer is available on Amazon so just click here to purchase it from the comfort of your home and get it delivered to your home easily and conveniently.

4. Put a piece of cardboard in the middle of the printed paper and glue the paper around it.
5. Cut out the flashcards. You will get three double-sided flashcards from each printout. 
6. You can make all flashcards waterproof by covering them with Scotch tape. 
Isn't this a great idea? Your children will love these cute flashcards. They are an excellent way of increasing your children's vocabulary in the subject of Social Studies. For younger children who can't read independently, you can sit and read the descriptions with them. Once the children have looked at all the flashcards, you may test them by showing them the picture side of the flashcards and asking them to define the building in their own words. This is also an effective way of learning English for children whose first language is not English. They can practice their English speaking this way.
Check out these beautiful flashcards below. The download link for high-quality PDF is given below the pictures. Have fun learning with your children. I am sure you will also enjoy them just as I enjoyed making them. Also, these flashcards are not just meant for parents. All the dedicated and amazing teachers out there: go ahead and use these resources to impart knowledge to your students. I believe in Free and Inclusive education for all 😊


Check out this tutorial video of how you can easily turn these amazing flashcards into water-proof and sturdy flashcards without using a lamination machine and by using just recycled material:



I hope you like this effort. All my resources are free. Do share it with friends and family if you like my work 😊

Free Jolly Phonics Group 1 worksheets (s, a, t, i, p, n) According to Oxford Dictionary, phonics is a "method of teaching people to read by correlating sounds with symbols in an alphabetic writing system". In simple words, each letter of the alphabet has a sound. Instead of teaching young children the names of these alphabets, the sounds are taught. For example "a" makes the sound /a/...this is exactly the sound that comes from your mouth in the beginning when you say the word " apple " or " ant ". The letter "a" makes a different sound in words like " arm " and " ate " but these rules are taught later.  Jolly Phonics is a synthetic phonics system where all the letters of the alphabet have been split into seven groups. Each group contains 6 letters or their combinations so a total of 42 sounds are taught. What do I mean by a combination of letters? Remember that the combination of letters "s" and "h&

Free Jolly Phonics Group 2 worksheets (c/k, e, h, r, m, d) Hello Friends, I am back with another set of worksheets for helping children learn their phonics sounds. As you might already know, I am a strong proponent of the Jolly Phonics system of synthetic phonics sounds. Jolly Phonics system follows a particular order of teaching alphabet sounds in which there are seven groups. The following image shows the seven groups of Jolly Phonics along with an extra group taught by my Phonics app on Google Play Store. My app called  Phonics Fun  is 100% Free so you can download it and use it on all your Android devices.  It teaches all the letter sounds and different phonics rules and follows the pattern of Jolly Phonics but it is available for free. It is the perfect way to master phonics as you can hear phonics sounds and also test learning by playing many matching games. Coming back to printable Jolly phonics worksheets, I have already published worksheets for practicing Group 1 (s, a, t,

Gone are the days of A for apple, B for Ball...this is the time of synthetic phonics where each alphabet has a sound. Now, you don't teach children the name of the letter but the sound made by the letter. A has the sound that comes when we say the word apple, b has the sound that comes when we say bed, and so on and so forth. There are different systems of synthetic phonics but I have felt that Jolly Phonics is the best system. In fact, I made my first mobile app for my son based on the Jolly Phonics style of teaching. However, I know that many people want to limit screen exposure for their children so I decided to make these flashcards.  You can use these flashcards independently or you can use them along with my app called Phonics Fun , available on the Google Play Store. You can hear the sounds from my app. Practice using these flashcards and then, test learning using my app too...a win-win situation :) The Jolly Phonics flash cards are double-sided. I have told you in my previ
