C) Teaching Ideas


These cards are a great supplement for our health-based worksheets.

Handouts Online has two theme lessons you could use with these cards:

1) Under the Weather (Elementary and above)

The cards could be used as vocabulary builders.

2) At the Doctor's (Intermediate and above)

The students should already know the vocabulary, so the cards can be used as the basis for role-plays.
