Ideas for Use:Task Cards can be used in many different ways:

• Warm-Ups• In stations/centers• With a partner or small group• Have students write the answers on the back and play “Memory”• Have a scavenger hunt (give students the answers and hide the questions around the room)• For students who finish early• Individually, to review for tests• When you have a few minutes to spare before the bell rings…

Task Cards are a sneaky way of taking a boring worksheet and making it fun! I store them in a pocket folder with the answer key, student recording sheet copies, and laminated cards in a Ziploc bag. I also print & laminate the title page and glue it to the front of the folder. (I’ve also included blank cards if you want to add your own.)
