Five ways to play them

• Memory Match — picture↔word pairs from the back to school set; every flip is said aloud. Two-player mode for student vs teacher.
• Bingo — you call the words, kids hunt their cards: listening practice with a winner's shout at the end.
• Flip Cards — the deck on screen: picture first, the child names it, flip to check. Great for the first meeting with the words.
• Word Scramble — the shorter back to school words letter by letter: spelling dressed as a puzzle.
• Balloon Words — save the word before the balloons fly away: the alphabet drill children ask to repeat.

Print & go

For offline lessons (or online students with a printer), the same back to school words come as A4 printables: cut-out flashcards with three label options, a one-page poster for the wall, unique bingo sheets with a caller's list, and a matching worksheet with an upside-down answer key.
