Fun ESL action flashcard game
Try this lively classroom activity using your action flashcards.
Lay out 8–12 action cards (jump, run, clap, swim, etc.) on the board or floor. Call out an action and have students race to touch the correct card while doing the action (jumping, clapping, cooking, etc.). Then switch roles — let students call out the actions while the teacher (or another student) races to the cards.
