Flashcard Activities: ✅ Top 5 Ideas to Replace Incessant Drilling - TEFL Blog

TEFL Information Alumni Experiences Teaching Ideas
For nearly a year, I have taught four to six-year-olds residing in the outskirts of Beijing. My students do not sit at desks.

As my students are still learning essential words for everyday English use, drills and flashcards are crucial within our lessons. However, drilling can quickly lose a young learner's interest. To remedy the monotony, I have used the following five activities: One-Step, Monster, Bomb; Hopscotch; Fly Swat Race; Tic-Tac-Toe; and Rock, Paper, Scissors Tournament. Each game proved to be an effective way to have young learners drill while keeping them engaged in the... [Read more]
