Instructions for Use

Step 1: Print and Prepare
 Download the PDF and print the pages on sturdy paper or cardstock for durability. Laminate for repeated use if desired. Cut along the lines to separate individual flashcards.

Step 2: Start with One Page
 Introduce a small set of cards (e.g., one page with 3 flashcards) to avoid overwhelming the child. Read each “Where” question aloud and show the picture and answer. For example:
 You ask: “Where do we brush our teeth?”
 Then say: “We brush our teeth in the bathroom” while pointing to the picture.

Step 3: Practice Repetition
 Encourage the child to repeat the full sentence. Model the answer if needed and guide them using visual cues from the images.

Step 4: Expand Language Use
 Prompt further discussion:

• “What else do we do in the kitchen?”
  
• “Do we wash hands in the sink or bathtub?”
  

Step 5: Apply in Real Life
 After going through the cards, walk around your home and find the real objects or locations. Reinforce learning by asking the same questions in natural settings.

Step 6: Mix and Match
 Once familiar with the cards, shuffle them and use them as a quiz or game. Ask your child to find the correct answer or match two related cards (e.g., sink and washing hands).

Activities Using the Resource

These versatile flashcards can be used in many fun and structured ways to teach children how to answer “Where” questions while reinforcing everyday vocabulary and routines. Here are some activity ideas:

1. Flashcard Matching Game

• Objective: Match each “Where” question card with its correct answer card and picture.
  
• How to Play: Shuffle the cards and lay them face up or face down. Ask the child to find the correct answer for a question (e.g., “Where do we bake cookies?” → “In the oven”). You can turn this into a memory game if the cards are placed face down.
  

2. Scavenger Hunt Around the House

• Objective: Reinforce learning through real-world application.
  
• How to Play: Use the flashcards as prompts. Read a question aloud, and have the child walk to that location in the house (e.g., after reading “Where do we brush our teeth?”, the child walks to the bathroom). Reinforce the answer once they reach the location.
  

3. Role-Play and Pretend Play

• Objective: Build expressive language and social play skills.
  
• How to Play: Set up a pretend kitchen, bathroom, or bedroom area with props (e.g., toy sink, plastic food). Ask questions like “Where do we cook food?” and encourage the child to act it out.
  

4. Sentence Completion Challenge

• Objective: Develop complete sentence use and expressive speech.
  
• How to Play: Say the question and prompt the child to answer in full. For example, “Where do we wash dishes?” → The child says, “We wash dishes in the sink.” Offer sentence starters for support if needed.
  

5. Who Wants to Be a WH-Question Star?

• Objective: Gamify learning to increase motivation.
  
• How to Play: Create a small quiz game show using the flashcards. Offer options (A/B/C) for each question. The child earns points or stickers for each correct answer.
  

6. Daily Routine Integration

• Objective: Reinforce language naturally during real-life moments.
• How to Use: Use a relevant card just before or after the actual activity (e.g., before brushing teeth, show the card “Where do we brush our teeth?”). Ask the question and wait for the child to answer it aloud.
