Flash Card

What is the Flash Card Activity?

Flash cards are small cards designed for active learning, with a question, term, or concept on one side and the answer or explanation on the other. Learners use them to test their memory repeatedly, strengthening recall and reinforcing understanding of key ideas. This technique works across subjects, from language vocabulary and historical dates to formulas in science and important definitions in any field.

Flash cards can be physical, like index cards, or digital, through apps and online platforms. Learners often organize them by topic, difficulty level, or frequency of review, enabling focused, personalized, and efficient study sessions that enhance retention and long-term memory.
