Flashcards are recommended for visual learners because they are more apt to remember what the word looks like and how it's spelled. To make things even more interesting and informative, you could attach simple pictures of the words on the back of the card. For example, if you're teaching your child color words such as "red" or "yellow," paste a picture of an apple or a lemon on the back.
Pick a small room in the house with lots of items in it, such as an office. Write the names of objects, such as "lamp" or "curtain," on index cards and tape them on the corresponding object. Labeling items in the room strengthens the concept that letters make words and words denote an object. Once you're done with one room, you can move on to another one with a whole new set of objects.
This game is made for a group of children. First, have the children make paper airplanes. Line the children up and let them test flying their planes. When they're ready to start the competition, assign points to different items in a room. For example, five points for a chair, 10 points for the door and 20 points for the desk. Ask a child a question, like a meaning of a word, and if he gives the right answer, he can launch the paper plane and try to hit one of the goal objects to gain points. This works well as a game for teams as well.
Draw squares on a blackboard for the child to be able to draw in. Write vocabulary words above each square. Say the word, and then have the child draw it in the square. The words the child draws could be basic nouns such as "cat," "car" or "apple," or phrases emphasizing adjectives such as "draw a big tiger," "an angry monkey" or "an expensive watch." Give the child a score for the pictures that she has drawn, and then move on to the next picture. This will help her to remember the words she has learned right away.
