Printable Flashcards to Learn 92 Irregular Verbs

Irregular verbs are considered to be one of the most challenging English grammar aspects especially for non-native speakers who start learning the language. This is why I have to return to the subject of irregular verbs now and then to help my students retain all the verb forms in their memories. Although I have plenty of grammar books, worksheets and other materials such as printable puzzles for teaching irregular verbs, there seems to be never enough resources for this incredibly hard part of the English language. It is especially true when it comes to teaching English to small kids who are very reluctant to memorize boring stuff. So, trying to make the process of learning irregular verbs more fun, I have designed a set of colorful printable flashcards.

I have created irregular verbs flashcards that incorporate the base form, simple past and past participle of the verbs along with relevant pictures helping form the association between words and their meaning. Since the majority of people are visual learners, I thought the visually appealing flashcards would help me effectively teach even the most boring grammar stuff to young students. Teachers using these flashcards can also cut off the simple past and past participle part to use it for some matching activities in the classroom. The flashcards are rather large and can be easily printed on A4 paper sheets or bigger formats if needed.

My collection of images allowed me to create flashcards to learn 92 irregular verbs. Here is a list of all of them: be, beat, become, bite, blow, break, bring, build, burn, buy, catch, choose, come, cost, cut, dig, dive, draw, dream, drink, drive, eat, fall, feed, feel, fight, find, fly, forbid, forget, freeze, get, give, go, grow, hang, have, hear, hide, hit, hold, hurt, know, lead, learn, leave, lend, let, lie, lose, make, mean, meet, pay, put, read, ride, ring, rise, run, say, see, sell, send, sew, shake, shine, shoot, show, sing, sink, sit, sleep, slide, smell, speak, spend, spread, stand, steal, sweep, swim, swing, take, tell, think, throw, understand, wake, wear, win, write.

I will be publishing my irregular verbs flashcards on my blog in the form images. My fellow EFL and ESL teachers and parents are welcome to use them for English classes. If you need high resolution printer-ready PDF version of this set of flashcards, you are welcome to buy it here.

Here are the first 10 printable irregular verb flashcards.

Big Printable Alphabet Letters (A to E)

Once I had to teach my English class in a larger-than-usual classroom, and I realized that ABC flashcards I had were not big enough for all kids to clearly see them from anywhere in the room. So I decided to design large printable alphabet letters for demonstration purposes. The original target size was A4 paper format. However, the final resolution of these ABC flashcards proved to be large enough for printing on A3 paper sheets, so I was able to create English alphabet posters to decorate my classroom whenever I had a lesson dedicated to this or another letter. Unfortunately, this blog platform does not allow sharing the full resolution images. So my fellow teachers can use the printable ABC letters published here to print them out on A4 paper sheets or those of other similar sizes. If anyone needs extra high resolution alphabet letters for enhanced printing quality or larger format printing, they are welcome to buy the premium PDF-based version.

I’ve also noticed that my big ABC letters are good for teaching the English alphabet to my online students. The bigger the letter, the clearer they can see it through a not-always-perfect video connection. In order to make the alphabet cards look less boring, I have added some pictures of animals, people and objects starting with the letter to each corresponding flashcard.

The PDF file has enough resolution for high quality printing on A3 size paper sheets.

Printable African Animals Dominoes

Dominoes is an easy game that can be used to teach English even to the youngest students. This is why I design printable domino cards to play with kids when strengthening new vocabulary. The game offers a challenge that is easily solved by the majority of children thus leaving them proud of their achievement and experiencing some positive emotions. Every teacher knows that positive emotions in the classroom are extremely good for students’ memory and desire to learn. I also do my best to design bright and colorful domino cards to make English learning experience even better for my precious little students. I usually use the domino game along with the bingo game to gamify my teaching process and make it more effective with young English learners. Such activities bring a lot of fun to my classroom.

Since animals belong to one of the major topics with a large vocabulary to be learned, I have created as many as 162 printable domino cards (including a few for British English variations of some animal names) to help kids memorize animal names through playing individually and in groups. I designed the game in such a way that a teacher could offer students to match animal pictures with their names within certain groups of animals (African animals, Australian animals, polar animals, pets, farm animals, sea animals, forest and jungle animals, birds, insects) as well as for the entire vocabulary I based the printable animal kit on.

Printable Animals Bingo Game

The late stages of learning vocabulary for this or another topic is the most fun time for kids in my classroom as we start playing games. I usually design printable cards for bingo and domino games.

I want to start sharing printable animal flashcards with those featuring polar animals.
