When I was about seven years old, we took a field trip to the dairy farm down the street from our elementary school.

I remember being amazed at how huge the cows were. They’re wayyyy bigger in person than when you see them out of the car window as you ride by.

Especially when you’re seven.

Our local zoo has a petting farm with goats, ponies, and pigs, so the kids have gotten a chance to see and touch these animals before.

So I thought it’d be fun to share a new set of free printable flashcards: Farm Animal Flashcards!

These are great for learning to identify animals, making matching games, and more.

How to Use Farm Animal Flashcards with Early Learners

There are several ways you can use these flashcards with kids.

For toddlers and preschoolers, practice making farm animal sounds. Then ask if they can identify the animal that makes each sound.

Even better, have them make the sounds and then quiz you!

For older students, hold up the picture card and ask the class if they can identify the animal.

After they do, show the picture and name card and walk the students through how to read and spell each one.

Afterward, hold up the name cards and cover the picture with your hand. See if the class can remember the animals by just rereading the words.
