Flashcards are effective tools for introducing new vocabulary to young learners.  With clear visuals and repetition, students can quickly connect words like swing or slide with real meaning. This is especially important in the presentation stage, where students need strong visual support before moving on to practice activities. 👉 In this unit, flashcards are not used alone—they are the foundation for everything that comes next.

Ask questions: What's this?
