Flashcards Series 3

El Aeropuerto
Flashcards are one of the quickest and easiest ways to test yourself on Spanish
vocabulary, no matter where you are! Test yourself on just these flashcards at first.
Then, as you become more proficient, add the flashcards from the previous series to
make it even harder.

Setting Up
► Print this file. (In Adobe Acrobat, go to File > Print.)
► Cut each of the following pages into 6 pieces on the solid lines shown.
► Fold each of the 6 pieces in half on the dotted line, then tape the open edge.
► Have pen and paper on hand to write your answers on.

Game Play

Single Person

► Shuffle the flashcards so that they are in random order.

► Place all of the folded cards in a pile with the Spanish side up.
► Starting from the top of the pile, write down the translation of the Spanish word or
phrase in English on your sheet of paper.
► Check your answers and give yourself 1 point for every correct one. Subtract a
point for every incorrect one. Note down your score.
► Shuffle the flashcards again and repeat the process, except with the English side up.
► Score yourself. At first, aim to get a positive score. Once you become more
proficient, aim to get a score of 10.

Two or More People

► Shuffle the cards and place them in a pile in the center of the group with the English
side up.
► Take the flashcard at the top of the pile and show it to the person on your left.
► That person has to guess the Spanish translation of the phrase and say it aloud. A
correct answer gets 1 point, while an incorrect answer gets -1.
► BONUS: If the other person say the English sentence in Spanish, they get 2 bonus
points. An incorrect answer will not detract from their score.
► That is the end of their turn. Now, the person to your left picks up the next card
and shows the picture to the person on their left, and so on, until all the flashcards
have been completed.
► Repeat the process starting with the reverse side of the cards (the Spanish).
► The person with the highest score wins.
