Active knowledge of the surrounding world occurs at the age of 2, 3 years. The baby repeats and copies the actions, words, gestures of parents and loved ones during the game. Toys are an excellent material for the development of a two-year-old child. With the help of them, little whychka learns color, shape, figures, learns to systematize and compare, develops logic, thinking, memory, coherent speech, and finger motor skills.

Educational cards for children are excellent educational material. But you shouldn’t wave them in front of your child; it’s much more interesting to play with them. Today I will tell you what educational games we play, then I will give links to the material that we have been using in the last couple of months. The most important principles that I follow are that the game should not only be educational, but also bring secondary benefits. This could be physical activity, speech therapy gymnastics, or repetition of material covered long ago in a form that is interesting to the child. I am sure that in this article you will find a lot of useful and interesting things for the development of your children.

Hello, dear blog readers. I often write that my son likes educational cards and enjoys playing with them. I think my child is not the only one like this. I am sure that other children are drawn to various kinds of cards. Now Alexander is 3 years 7 months old, in the last six months he can occupy himself for 15-30 minutes in independent play. And if it’s not cars, then it’s definitely cards.
It would seem, why invent something if he himself can take them out, play with them and put them back? However, any child will be more interested in playing with his favorite object. Another reason for organizing joint games is that my son still prefers me as a spectator. That is, he lays it out, plays, and doesn’t let his mother out of sight. And if I sit down next to him, he will immediately ask: “Mommy, do you want to play with me?”
Just a week ago my son woke up with the words: “Where is our poster with mushrooms?” We played the mushrooms for the second round a few months ago and I was relieved to take down the poster so that I could free up a piece of the wall. That morning we had breakfast, played, worked out, and I left to prepare lunch, and Alexander himself found something to do:
- I myself took out educational cards about mushrooms;
- I chose which ones I wanted;
- I started reading them to myself.
When he read almost everything (they are lying on the sofa in front of him in the video), I still looked up from the stove and approached with the camera. Of course, Alexander noticed me, but this did not bother him at all.
Educational cards - games
1. How can you not only learn the alphabet, but actually remember which letter comes after which? You will need educational Alphabet cards. We lay them out on the floor and remove 3-5 letters. We give these 3-5 cards to the child, having mixed them in advance. We turn on the music and the child runs around the alphabet. As soon as the music stops, he must correctly arrange the letters in his hands. The game can be played many times, removing new letters. As long as the child is in the mood and desire, you can play.
I don’t turn on music, I hum any melody while holding the whistle in my hand. As soon as I finish chanting and the whistle sounds, Alexander lays out the missing letters. Since I decided to write about these games, I’ll post a completely home video. It’s spontaneous, I shot it on one of the Sundays – our English day. Alexander completely unexpectedly began to sing, I picked it up, in general, the child stretched his legs and vocal cords.
That day he took out his alphabet puzzles, which we used when we first started learning English (at three years old). And so that my son would not just connect them, but would have some benefit, I invited him to play.
2. Another alphabet game. In any container, open or in the form of a bag, we put cards with words. And on the other side we lay out the alphabet on the floor or carpet. The child puts his hand into the container and pulls out one word. If the baby is a reader, then he reads and finds the corresponding letter of the alphabet with which this word begins. If not a reader, then the parent names the word and the child finds the letter. It seems to me that this game can arouse interest among children who are studying with the “Reading from Cradles” set.
3 . We take educational cards, for example, fruits or vegetables, or any food. Two people must participate in the game, since Alexander has no brothers and sisters, I am his partner. He chooses any card, and I turn my back to him. The child is trying to explain to me in suggestive sentences what is depicted on it. For example, “apple” - it can be green, red, yellow, it is juicy, juice is made from it, the peel is removed from it before eating, etc. Or “cake” - it’s sweet, it’s cooked in the oven, you can add raisins or nuts to it, etc. Then we change.
It is important that the child hears how a more experienced partner plays! This way he will learn on his own. As you can imagine, this game develops vocabulary. We play it in English. have not yet matured.
And the last time we played this game, what did you think? With a set of 100 colors from the Umnitsa company. We went through this set a long time ago, but sometimes I see that information about color is forgotten. I divided all the material into shades, took only red ones and began to ask leading questions one by one. So they were happy to repeat the material covered a long time ago.
4. Basically, all educational cards have a picture and a word, that is, they are not made according to Doman. But we are “mammies with crazy hands” and can do everything ourselves.
So, for example, your child learns body parts in Spanish. We make one card with a picture, and another with a word that represents this picture. Place everything face down and turn over two at a time. If a child gets a picture - nose and a word - nose, then he takes them for himself, if not, then he leaves them for you. In other words, this is a Memory game, but in it you need to connect a picture with a word, which gives the child not only knowledge of names, but also reading practice. I think it’s clear that the one who collects more pairs wins.
5. Don’t forget about the basics, remember how we flew and jumped on the “Reading from Diapers” cards? If your educational material is laminated, then you can make a “bridge” across the “river”, along which the child must jump to the other side. Every time he jumps, he names a card.
6. You need to print and cut out a medium sized fish. On the floor, stretch adhesive tape for two meters, a different color from the floor. The child stands at one end, the parent at the other. The adult shows the card and the child must name it correctly. In this case, for kids you can choose educational cards with pictures, and for older children with words. If you manage to read a word or name an object, then the child can blow on the fish so that it “swims” along the river. When the fish swims up to the parent, it means the child has won. I think there is no need to talk about the importance.
7. If your baby allows you to blindfold him, then do it; if not, then let him close them. The parent divides the educational material equally and places piles in each of the four corners of the room. The child stands in the middle of the room and the mother begins to spin him, while he counts to ten (development). The mother tries to twist the child so that he stops facing one of the corners. The baby takes the cards from this corner, the parent names them, or he reads them himself. The game continues by spinning in the other direction... and ends when the cards from all corners are taken.
The last time we played it was with the “emotion robots”, which will be linked below. We discussed all emotions in English. I learned so many interesting things about my child by asking questions: “Why do you think the robot is sad?”, “What makes you sad sometimes?” And so about all the emotions - cheerful, scared, proud.
8. Great practice for asking a question. The parent shows what topic the game will be on. Then the baby turns away, and the adult chooses one card and holds it facing him. The child asks questions: “Is it a dog?”, “Is it a ball?”, “Is it a book?” etc. If the child guesses the object, he takes it for himself. Now the parent must ask questions about the child's chosen object. Remember the importance of role reversal - you set the right example by quietly teaching.
We played this game with volumetric . First, of course, we selected everyday objects for each card, and then asked each other questions.
9. Animal theme. The parent has educational cards with animals and he agrees in advance that the child will be given 3 clues for each object. For example: he has 5 toes on his front paws, he is very strong, and there are stripes on his skin. Who is this? Of course the tiger!
The child can guess from the first clue or from the third. If you don’t guess correctly, put it off until next time without showing the card to your child. Let him think about the tips, next time he will definitely succeed.
Download educational cards: review with link
Now I will share with you various links to download the material. If you teach your child English or French, then the cards I collected will definitely help you in interactive lessons. You can read about how my son learns languages, as well as about bilingualism in children, in articles in certain sections, which are located in the right column of the blog. Here, I advise you to go to the comments after reading it. There, parents share their experiences and get answers to questions.

Alphabet in English
I can’t imagine a person who wouldn’t fall in love with this work of art, but the trouble is, the site provides a link to material in half a matchbox or in a huge size for decorating children’s rooms. Therefore, in order for the educational material to appear in the correct size, each picture had to be edited manually. Taken from the website Rookno17. And I let you download my link with edited material.
Or maybe you like the clearer lines of a minimalist? Then this is the place for you.
What I liked about this alphabet were the words that are rarely used in English flashcards.
Did you know that you can use educational cards to make such wonderful pictures for a child’s room?

In a previous article I shared ideas for children. Today I’m publishing a review of the cards.
Some prefer drawings, others photographs. But the most important thing about cards is their durability.
When purchasing, pay attention to the size. Large cards are preferable to small ones. We have both, and Antoshka likes to play with the bigger ones more. And small cards are convenient to use for sorting games, because it is desirable to have a lot of them and it would be nice to have them inexpensively.
Series "Smart cards"(Ozone, My-shop) from Rosman publishing house.
This is our favorite. Each set contains 32 cards, some have 36. The ideal size is 155 x 105 mm. The cardboard is thick, the images are bright and very realistic. A huge selection of sets: animals, food, sports, professions, letters, counting and much more.
Some sets, for example, “Colors” and “Geometric Shapes” are slightly smaller in size, but are also definitely worth buying.
On the back there are different tasks and questions for the child. So this is an additional source of ideas for games with cards.
Handout cards
Set contains 16 pieces. The cards are small – 87x64 mm. This is their minus. But the price is great.
For just a penny you can have a whole set of cards on a wide variety of topics: dishes, tools, hats, wintering birds, etc.
Demo pictures(Labyrinth, Ozone, My-shop) from the publishing house Sfera.
The same series, only these are not exactly cards anymore, because... they are very large (220x175 mm). These are the perfect equivalent of handout cards, only much larger. And the topics are the same. Well, they cost correspondingly more.
On the reverse side there is a poem, riddles, questions and information about the object.
Demonstration pictures are ideal for studying topics such as trees and birds. After all, it is important to be able to see the details here.
The set also includes 16 cards.
Series “IQ-baby”(Ozone, My-shop) from the publishing house Iris-press.
We don’t have such cards, but they look attractive in price and appearance. According to reviews, the cardboard is not very thick. Size – 80x90 mm.
Huge selection of topics. Each set contains a different number of cards - from 12 to 23. The sets with three-dimensional figures and polyhedra are very interesting.
Educational cards “A child prodigy from the cradle”
There are sets with mini cards - 84 - 100 cm, and there are sets with large ones - 165 - 195 mm. Thick cardboard and convenient packaging. There are sets of 20, and there are 40 double-sided cards.
Our topic is “Car brands”. On one side are the cars, and on the other is their logo.
While I was doing this review, I discovered some excellent sets that I will definitely buy: “Masterpieces of Artists” and “Cosmos”. On the reverse side there are interesting facts and tasks.
Series "Entertaining cards"(Ozone, My-shop) from Iris-press.
Large and colorful pictures aimed at teaching counting, reading, spelling, learning English and getting to know the world around us. Each set is designed for a different level of reading or counting skills.
The game uses both the front and back sides.
There are detailed instructions for parents.
I really like this series. High quality. We currently have the “Little Mice” set. Antoshka studies with great pleasure.
Series “Clever girl. The world at your fingertips"(Labyrinth, Ozone, My-shop).
There are large sets of 144 cards, expensive ones. And there are smaller ones. On the reverse side there are interesting facts.
In my opinion, a little expensive. The series is very popular, but there are also reviews full of disappointment.
Educational cards from the publishing house "Umka"(Ozone).
Presented in three series.
There is a series of “16 educational cards”, size 190x120 mm.
The cardboard is thin. Photos and facts are shown on the front side. It would be better if the information block was moved to the reverse side.
“Tear-off cards,” which also indicates insufficient cardboard density. And there are only 12 cards.
And there is a series of 36 cards, the packaging is similar to “Smart Cards” from Rosman. On one side there are pictures, on the other there are tasks for the child. But I have no doubts about the quality of “Smart Cards”, unlike these ones.
Memory
Memory is a famous card matching game. Develops memory and broadens horizons. It is interesting to play for both children and adults. It is convenient to take this game on a trip, because... it takes up little space.
My husband and I play the following sets (Labyrinth, Ozone, My-shop):
There are special sets for kids.

There are a huge number of developmental methods for children; Glen Doman's theory is the most famous of them. You can find out about the essence of the technique, its advantages and disadvantages, and also download Doman’s cards (conveniently divided into categories) on this page.
The essence of Glen Doman's technique
From birth, the human brain is tuned to understand the world around us by all possible means. Using this feature, you can carry out successful previous training (note that we are talking about training, not development!). It is recommended to start exercises from 3-6 months of age. Doman's method allows you to lay the foundations for the development of a high level of intelligence, form a strong thirst for knowledge, teach incredibly early reading in your native and foreign languages, and mathematics. This is what the author of the method says.
Training cards were specially developed for the technique. They contain an image of an object and an inscription-word denoting it. Presented in the form of sets united by a common theme. For example: “Flowers”, “Fruits”, etc. You can download such Doman cards by going through the sections of this page.
During their development, numerous nuances of perception and attention of young children were taken into account, which directly affects the efficiency of work. In this section, cards made strictly in accordance with Doman principles are available for free download. Each of them shows only one object on a pure white background, they are large in size, without frames or colored borders, all the important details are clearly visible in the picture. All items have their own name. It is written under their image in large, bright red font.
Just download Doman cards, print them and give them to your child? No, parents will need serious organization and, over time, a huge imagination on how to catch, arrange and eventually show these cards to the child. The problem with the interest of an ordinary, healthy child in the process is the complexity of the technique. In addition, there are certain rules. It is necessary to start the exercise when both the baby and the adult are in a good mood. It’s definitely worth saying: “Now I’ll show you...(birds, trees, etc.” After this, start showing. It is recommended to demonstrate each card for 1-2 seconds. At the same time, the adult pronounces loudly and clearly, in a calm voice, the word written under with a picture. The number of cards can be from 10 to 120, depending on the child’s interest. Important points:
- You cannot look into the card when demonstrating it, so as not to interfere with the child’s viewing of the image.
- Classes are initially held once a day, then their number is increased.
- One card should not be shown more than 3 times a day.
- There is no need to require the child to repeat names unless he wants to do it himself.
- It's better to stop playing before your baby loses interest.
- Gradually, you need to add new sets, and remove well-studied ones.
- Displays must be systematic; only in this case can results be achieved.
How to make Doman Cards yourself?
We invite you to download Doman cards and print them for your child. It is better to do this on matte (to avoid glare) paper with a density of 250-300 g/m2 or glue it to cardboard. It is advisable to laminate the finished cards, then they will last longer and can be used in other educational games.
This didactic material can also be successfully used in Makato Shichida’s methodology, aimed at developing photographic memory, creativity, and intuition. To do this, you only need to cut off the names of the items along the dotted line.
What can you play with children's cards?
First you need to remember what is written on the cards.
Game 1.Who came to visit?
Take some animal cards. And say “Look, this is a cat. The cat came to visit you. Meow meow. Oh, who is this? Dog! I came to visit you too! The dog says woof-woof. Show me where the cat is? Where is the dog, show me with your finger.” Some children do not point at the picture, but look from one to the other (pay attention to this). Be sure to praise your baby.
Game 2.Cook.
You need a baby plate and your baby's favorite toy (doll or soft toy). Take pictures with vegetables and fruits. “Let's prepare a delicious salad for the doll. What should we put in it? Let’s put in a tomato, cucumber, carrot, etc.” By analogy, you can cook soup, compote, treats for guests, etc.
Game 3.Zoo.
Tell your child that now you and he will go to the zoo to look at the animals. Place the cards around the room and go from one to the other, naming the animals. (Similarly, you can play “Farm”, “Forest”).
Educational games with children's cards.
1) Mix cards of 2 or more topics (depending on the age of the child) and ask them to fold each topic separately.
2) Place the cards in a bag, take cards out of it one by one and name what is drawn on them.
3) Arrange the cards face up. The presenter names the pictures, and the children have to find them at speed, whoever is faster.
4) Take 2 or more cards (depending on the age of the child). Show each picture and turn it over. Ask the child to show where which picture is.
5) Cards can be used as counting material (count flowers, mushrooms).
