These ESL Vocabulary Task Cards are designed especially for lower-level English learners who need structured practice with essential everyday vocabulary. Students read a simple question and choose the correct answer from three options (A, B, or C). Perfect for building confidence with animals, food, clothing, objects, and school supplies, this set works beautifully for centers, small groups, fast finishers, early morning work, or quick assessment checks.
The cards can be placed on a keyring for grab-and-go assessments, used with dry-erase markers when laminated, or assigned digitally through the included Google Slides™ version. A student recording sheet and answer key make this a no-prep, teacher-friendly resource.
