PRIMARY LATIN VOCABULARY CARDS #1

LATIN VOCABULARY CARDS Latin vocabulary practice and revision activities really do help to create a lively language learning environment. Students can develop, embed, reinforce and refresh their beginner Latin vocabulary in a cooperative, communicative and interactive way, independently of the teacher. The game cards and accompanying Recall and Write activities have a bonus multi-skill focus on listening,speaking, reading, writing and spelling. It doesn’t matter if any of the words or phrases don’t feature in your medium or even longer-term learning plan: this is a great way of encouraging your students to engage with new language,and to build their vocabulary at the same time. I’ve given the plural of nouns, as well as the gender - plurals and gender are key to recreating accurate Latin, so this introduces students to those concepts from the very beginning of their learning.

Set 1 features 45 beginning words & phrases in the following categories:

Days of the week
Months & seasons of the year
Numbers and Roman Numerals 0-10
Greetings

The Reference, Recall & Write book has 8 pages. It includes an alphabetical Latin-English reference list of all 45 words & phrases. Students find this really useful as a learning support resource, and it comes in very handy for quick vocab quizzes too! The Recall and Write challenges help students familiarise themselves with, and really embed,the range of vocabulary in the set, and also get used to reading, writing and spelling in Latin.

There are two written recall challenges:

Written Recall Challenge One: This challenge requires students to write the corresponding English word or phrase from a Latin prompt. The words and phrases are in random, rather than category order - this challenges the memory more than when the vocab is in the order learners first learn it in.

Written Recall Challenge Two: This challenge requires students to write the corresponding Latin word or phrase from an English prompt. The words and phrases are again in random, rather than category order.

I encourage students to visit the Ideas, Notes and Next Steps page regularly, reflecting not only on the words and phrases they feel confident about, but also how they think their skills in listening, speaking, reading and writing are developing - and equally importantly, what they can reasonably do to keep improving.

Laminate the game cards if you can - they are far more learner-friendly, and the additional prep and expense is definitely worth it, as the cards will last for years.
