Sing-Along
You can use this as a goodbye song at any time of the year. Sing children's names instead of snowman, reindeer, and Santa. Instead of, "Happy Holidays," sing, "See you again next time." And instead of, "We wish you a Merry Christmas," sing, "We all do a little clapping."1

Storytime Goodbye!
At the end of each story time, go through the book once more and say, "Goodbye!" to all of the characters. This is a nice way for children to become more familiar with the characters in their favorite books. The next time you read the book, say, "Hello!" to all of the characters. Can you remember their names?2

Goodbye, Snowman!
Lean the snowman, reindeer, Santa, and elf picture cards against the wall on one side of the room. The students sit against the opposite wall. Say, "Goodbye, [Snowman]" and choose one student to walk over and place that card face down. When that student returns, he says, "Goodbye, [Reindeer]" and chooses one student to turn that card face down. Continue until you have said, "Goodbye" to all of the cards. Try mixing things up and having the students jump, hop, run, crawl, or roll over to the cards!


How do I use flashcards with kids?

When introducing vocabulary to young learners, it's great to use real items that capture children's attention. However, it's not always possible or realistic for teachers to use real items in the classroom. Flashcards can be a nice way to introduce new vocabulary so that learners have a very clear understanding.

When using flashcards or picture cards to introduce vocabulary in the classroom, try to create some suspense or mystery about the cards. Students are more receptive to learning when they are curious. Rather than just flipping through the cards and having students repeat the words, incorporate the cards into activities. This will help students be more invested and more likely to remember the words.

Reinforce the vocabulary words in other parts of your lesson, such as in a storytime book, a worksheet or a song. Have the students help you create meaningful gestures for the words that you can use while singing together.

Here are a few simple ideas for introducing and reviewing language using flashcards.
