3-part Definition cards
"Parts of" Definition Cards
  • Control card (defined word in red at the top followed by the complete definition)
  • Word card and Full Definition card (the control card cut into 2 parts)
  • Word card, first-half definition card, second-half definition card (the control card cut into 3 parts)

Children first learn about the terms by matching the definition control card to the matching photo card from our
"parts of" photo cards.
Then they match each term to its full definition and finally each term to each part of its definition. For both of these steps, children use
the control card to check their work. Each packet contains control cards (3¾” x 4¼”), word cards (3¾” x ¾”), full definition cards (3¾” x
3½”) first half of definition cards (3¾” x 1¼”), and bottom half of definition cards (3¾” x 3”) all with
rounded corners. Click here to
