Because they have to remember where each card was, they see and recall the same English words again and again, which helps new vocabulary stick.
They are made for young learners. Picture cards work for children who are not reading yet, and word cards add a challenge for students who are.
Every flip is a quick review. Students see the word, look for its match, and remember where it was, so they meet the same vocabulary many times in a few minutes. Teachers can also ask students to say each word out loud as they flip.
Use them as a warm-up, a review at the end of a unit, or a brain break. Students can play on their own to beat their time, or the whole class can take turns finding pairs.
