What is the Flashcard Maker?
The Flashcard Maker turns a list of words, questions and answers into a set of cards you can flip on screen or print and cut out. You type the front of each card — a word, a question or a maths problem — and the back, which holds the answer or definition. There is no limit on how many cards you can add, so a set can cover one spelling list or a whole term of science vocabulary.
It is made for teachers who want quick revision material without designing cards by hand, and it works just as well for pupils revising on their own. Click any card to flip it over and check the answer, then click again to flip it back. When you print, each card comes out with its front and back side by side, so you can cut them out and fold them, or keep them as a matching set on the desk.
What you can use it for
Flashcards suit any subject where pupils need to recall facts fast. Here are four ways teachers use this tool in the classroom.
- Vocabulary revision: put a new word on the front and its meaning on the back, then run a five-minute quiz at the start of the lesson. A set for “photosynthesis” could have the definition “how plants make food from sunlight” on the back.
- Times tables: write “7 × 8” on the front and “56” on the back, and let pupils test each other in pairs. The flip action makes it a game rather than a worksheet.
- Science and history facts: build a set of questions such as “What gas do plants take in?” and use the cards for whole-class quizzing or for a revision station during group work.
- Spelling practice: put the definition or a sentence with a missing word on the front and the correct spelling on the back, so pupils check their own answers without waiting for the teacher.
Good to know
- Keep the front short — one word, one question or one sum — so the card is easy to read at a glance when it flips.
- Write the back as a full answer, not a single word, when the front is a question; pupils learn more from checking a complete answer than from guessing a keyword.
- Make one set per topic rather than one giant set for the whole term, so revision stays focused and the printed cards stay in a sensible order.
- If you want ready-made sight-word cards instead of building your own, try the Sight Words Flashcard Generator, or use the Vocabulary Flashcard Maker for word-and-definition pairs. A matching Word Search Generator puzzle makes a good follow-up activity for the same words.
Can pupils use the flashcards on their own for revision?
Yes. That is one of the best uses for them. A pupil can open the set on screen, read the front of a card, say the answer out loud, then click to flip it and check. Because the answer stays hidden until the card flips, pupils test their memory instead of just re-reading notes — and they can run through the same set again the next day to see which cards they still miss.
