Best flash cards - which ones to buy for...

We have a set of cards from National Geographic on places. I never thought to use them as flash cards per se... I usually hand them over and tell the kids to organize them into groups. Younger kids will organize buildings vs. parks vs. natural landforms. Older children will organize by country, or some obscure detail they've found. They've been a fun, supplemental thing here, more than a practice tool.

 

We are die hard Saxon math flashcard people...

 

You can purchase sets of foreign words (Spanish, French, etc.) from the same company that makes those put together words from a box called "Poetry Magnets". The language ones have a white word on black in the foreign language and a black word on white on the other side, in English. They aren't flashcards, but get the child working on organizing words.

 

For flags, we ended up with a couple freebie sets of world flags stickers. We stuck them onto a big world map that came along with a National Geographic magazine.
