Select a magazine that has pictures of the vocabulary words you wish to teach in your lesson. For example, a restaurant review magazine may have useful pictures for a lesson on dining out.
Cut out the pictures representing the vocabulary words you plan to teach and paste them to the index cards. Use one picture per card.
Write the vocabulary word on the back of each index card.
Present each index card to the students one at a time.
Say the vocabulary word you want them to associate with the picture. This reinforces the learning by adding an auditory component.
Ask the students to repeat the vocabulary word while looking at the picture.
Repeat the "say and repeat" exercise three times for each card.
Hold up one of the index cards and ask one of the students or the group to tell you what the picture represents.
