Need help to make flash card

Nataneko

Hi! I'm not sure if flash card is the word that should be used here so let me give you a quick explanation. I want to make little cards with picture on them. like dog, cat, chair, running, etc.

I work with kids and for a lot of activities, it could be useful to have. But my brain is not working right now and I don't know what would be the easiest way to make those so they are all the same size etc.

This is what I used sometimes when I taught in elementary school its ESL stuff but they are just printable flash cards. You could resize the pictures and print them on cardstock if you wanted tough one or smaller ones for games and what not.

I think you forgot to put the link, but at least "printable flash card" is giving me way more results than just googling "flash card". Thanks!

It was totally in my clipboard buffer and everything.

the lowtech way to do it would be to get yourself some packs of 3 x 5 cards from any office supply store and draw/write on them with a marker.

I got an epiphany. I had a lot of construction paper and found neat stickers (animals, people, action, emotion, objects, etc) so I cut little cards and sticked the sticker on them. It's not really solid tough, I'll have to find a way to make them stronger (probably by glueing the card on carboard) and then find a way to plastify them on the cheap.

MoSiAc (or anyone that know the answer!) Did you just print them and cut them or did you do something fancier?

Most of my classes I went with the cheap just print out rule because the little kids are destructive no matter what you use to protect the cards, so after one got beat up I would just cheaply print another and recycle the old beaten one.

Some people would print them out and then laminate them. This is supposed to save them forever and I am sure it will if you are good at laminating. I suck at it though.

You could get them laminated like MoSiac suggests. Places like Office Max will do it and it's not too pricey. Or you can even buy self laminating sheets (or contact paper, or even just clear sticky shelf liners at a hardware store) and do it yourself, though this can be a pain. My wife's a teacher and she does this all the time to make sure her teaching aids last longer.
