This is another great ESL/EFL game for kindergarten you can play with very young learners using flashcards.
In order to play this game you need two sets of flashcards to teach vocabulary. I use “colors” and “fruits” but if you are a creative teacher then you can adapt the game for other categories of vocabulary. You also need to make sure they know the vocabulary so they can play the game.

Different places of articulation are arranged from left to right and the manners of articulation are arranged from top to bottom. There are phonemes with the same place and manner of articulation but differing in whether they are voiceless or voiced. In this situation the symbol for the voiceless consonant is placed to the left of the symbol for the voiced consonant.
Cardinal vowels are a standard reference system and those people who want to learn phonetics have to learn to make them accurately and of course recognize them correctly. Learning these cardinal vowels is a very useful way of describing, classifying, comparing and understanding vowels.
If you are interested in different religions then visiting Cao Dai temple will be a rewarding experience. Cao Dai is a religion that incorporates elements from Taoism, Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam (and probably others).
