A tutorial on how to make decks of picture prompts to use in language instruction.

1. By Amy Lenord

2. In order to use this method, it is important that
you save all the pictures you want to use in a
specific deck of cards into one folder. That
way, when you get ready to print them they
will all be together in the same folder.

3. I use a PC, so I navigate to COMPUTER, then to
PICTURES.
Once you do that, select the folder click once
on the folder of the pics you want to print just
to highlight the folder.

4. STEP ONE - Select all of the pictures in the folder that you
want to print. You can hold down CTRL and then click on
the ones you want or you can click SELECT ALL if you want
to print them all.

5. STEP TWO – Once you’ve selected the pictures you want to
print, find and click the PRINT icon in the folder menu.

6. STEP THREE – A new dialog window will appear asking you to select
your printer, paper type, etc. The most important feature to select
here is the size of the prints you want to be printed. To get a
uniform set of images scroll down and select WALLET (9).

7. Some suggestions:
 Print one set, then copy them on to card stock.
 For class sets, copy 15 sets, but put each set on a different color.
This way, if one card gets away from the deck you know which
deck to return the card to.
 Laminate the copied cards before you cut them apart.
 When making decks of cards, focus on words or phrases that are
high frequency.
