Bilingual English-Russian Action Verbs ESL Vocabulary Flashcards
Help your students or children learn action verbs in both English and Russian with this bilingual vibrant and interactive set of flashcards! As an ESL teacher, I created this resource to make learning verbs in my class and for my kids engaging and effective for bilingual learners and foreign students. Each card features a clear illustration of an action, along with the corresponding verb in English and Russian, making it a perfect tool for vocabulary building and language practice.
Why I Created This Resource:
I noticed my students often struggled to connect action verbs in English with their Russian equivalents. These flashcards have been a game-changer in my classroom, helping students visualize and remember verbs more easily. I’m thrilled to share them with you!
What’s Included:
A 10-page PDF with 5 flashcards per page, covering common action verbs like ‘run’ (бегать), ‘jump’ (прыгать), ‘eat’ (есть), and ‘write’ (писать).
Each verb is presented in English and Russian, with a clear, colorful image to support understanding.
Easy-to-print format—just download, print, and start teaching!
How to Use:
Act It Out: Have students pick a card and act out the verb while saying the word in both English and Russian. This is a fun way to reinforce learning!
Matching Games: Play games where learners match the verb to the correct image or translate it between English and Russian.
Sentence Building: Encourage students to create sentences using the verbs in both languages, helping them practice grammar and sentence structure.
Flashcard Drills: Use the cards for quick vocabulary reviews or as part of your daily warm-up routine.
