Animals Flashcards with Pictures - Free PDFs & Printables
Here you can find a wide range of animals names flashcards, including wild animals, animals common as pets, zoo animals and sea animals.
Animals are a very fun topic to teach young kids, and are central to a huge amount of children's books. The flashcards feature over 80 different animals so you can teach many names and spellings.
There are also many great games to play when teaching animals. My favorites were a Gesture Game, where you take turns to do a gesture of the animals, and Pictionary, where you take turns to draw the animals. Another great game is guessing the animal names by making the animal's sound. For each of these games, you use the flashcards to choose which animals to mimic or draw.
You can teach questions to use with the animals flashcards, such as:
- What animal do you like?
- What's your favorite animal?
Furthermore, the animals words can be practiced together with adjectives or colors, for example "A fast cat and a slow snail."
The flashcards are designed for teaching beginners and kids at kindergarten, school and homeschooling, or for self-study. There are three flashcard sizes, large flashcards in A4 or letter paper sizes, and medium and small flashcards which are great for using in activities and games. There are also interactive online flashcards to use on computers, tablets and smartphones.
The flashcards are available with both American English and British English vocabulary, and the text is editable so that it can be adapted for other languages.
You can also print free Animals worksheets to review the vocabulary taught using the flashcards.
For information on printing and making the printable flashcards, see the How to Make Printable Flashcards guide.
