How I Used the Bugs Flashcards with My Students

In my classroom, I used the Bugs Flashcards during our “Insects and Nature” theme week. Each day, I introduced 3–4 new bugs using the flashcards, showing the image and saying the name aloud. The children loved guessing the bug before I revealed its name! After that, we would match toy bugs or drawings to the correct flashcards. One of our favorite activities was a scavenger hunt where students looked for similar bugs outside during recess. 

Back in class, they used the cards to describe what they found. These flashcards sparked so many fun conversations and helped my students build both their vocabulary and observation skills in a playful way.

Tips for Printing Bugs Flashcards

Use thick paper or cardstock: This helps the flashcards last longer and stand up to frequent handling.

Laminate the cards: Laminating makes them more durable and allows for use with dry-erase markers (great for writing practice or games).

Print in color: The vibrant bug images are more engaging and help children recognize insects more easily.

Cut carefully: Trim the cards neatly and consider rounding the corners for safety, especially for younger kids.

Store in a pouch or box: Keep your flashcards organized in a labeled envelope or small container so they’re easy to grab and use.
