About this resource
Description
Learning the names of everyday foods builds vocabulary and healthy habits at the same time. These dinner flash cards show 15 favorite dinner foods, from spaghetti and chicken to broccoli, corn and baked potatoes, so preschool, kindergarten and 1st grade children can name what they see on their plates.
Each card folds over, with a bright picture on the front and the word inside, so children can guess first and then check. Every card also carries a food group tag for grains, vegetables, protein or dairy, which makes the dinner flash cards easy to sort into a healthy plate. A 1st grade practice page asks children to read three words and circle the name of six new dinner foods.
What’s Included
- A How to Use page with steps, prep tips and game ideas
- 15 fold-over dinner flash cards on five sheets (picture front, word and food group inside)
- A 1st grade practice worksheet: read the words and circle the food
- A card list key and a practice answer key
Why Food Flash Cards Help Kids
First, matching a picture to its printed word builds sight vocabulary and early reading. Second, sorting cards by food group introduces the idea of a balanced plate. Third, talking about the foods children eat at home makes the lesson personal, so new words stick.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Use the cards in a nutrition or healthy habits unit, at a vocabulary center or during circle time. Have children build a pretend dinner plate with one card from each food group. At home, use these preschool food flash cards while cooking and ask children to find each food in the kitchen. You can also play a quick memory game: lay a few cards picture side up, flip one over, and ask which food is missing.
