It's proven that students learn fast with chanting and rhymes.  Take the top card and place it face up on hte table so that the photo is visible.  Place a small figurine, preferably a king on the corner of the card.  You're basically going to march the king around the card, and each time you get to a corner, the student will learn a new description about the card.  Place the King on the corner of a card and start marching him while you  AND your student chant "The King has a castle and in it is a  .... (the student names the photo) and (photo) is....  Example, the King has a castle and in it is ice cream and ice-cream is cold.  Each time you reach a corner, the student learns another description on the back of the card.

PREPARATION
Use the Learn to Talk about Food & Appliances pack of cards and a small King figurine.  If you don't have a king you can substitute it with another figurine.  As your student becomes more proficient you can make this game more challenging by directing the student to name the first description on the first corner, both descriptions on the next corner and all three descriptions on the third corner.

1.  Learn to Talk about Food & Appliances
