Circle of Learning Cards is a literacy-focused resource that brings fun to the classroom. The activities enhance vocabulary, promote critical thinking and link to reading, writing and speaking and listening. There are 10 worksheets with 8 circular cards on each page. Each page is colour coded. There is a blank template for children to make their own cards. There is a planning sheet with 3 activity ideas for teachers including objectives, resources needed and instructions. Engaging Visual Learning: The cards are designed with colourful illustrations and text that engage learners and sparks imagination. Promotes Critical Thinking and Discussion: The cards encourage children to observe, describe, and infer meanings. For example, asking “What does it mean to be ‘all tied up’?” prompts children to explore figurative language and context clues. Enhances Vocabulary and Language Skills: Cards introduce new vocabulary and phrases in a fun, memorable way. Children can expand their language skills, learn new words, and practice using them in context. Supports Creative Expression: The resource includes activities where children create their own cards, encouraging them to express their ideas and creativity. By designing cards like “Sporty Turtle” or “Rainbow Fish,” children practice writing descriptive text and drawing illustrations, integrating art with literacy. Interactive and Fun: The cards include interactive activities such as the “Feely Bag Matching Game,” which combines tactile exploration with literacy skills. A fun end of term lesson too!
