These clip cards are a great way for students to practice their recognition of human and physical features using a multiple choice system. 32 cards are included which cover a wide range of geographical features including all listed in KS1 National Curriculum. Each card has two possible answers. Students select the correct answer by clipping a clothespin, peg or paper clip to it.
I like to laminate these cards so students can simply circle the correct answer using a dry erase marker. Alternatively, you can print these on paper to hand out to your class at the end of the lesson; pupils circle the correct answer and hand in as a great exit ticket or plenary to the lesson.
