Medieval Life Card Game
These flashcards contain vocabulary on the theme of medieval ages and knights.Roughly half the cards concern knights and
what knights might do. The other half of the cards focus more on medieval life.
Some sample cards from the knights section are:
Knights jousting
An archer loading a crossbow
A knight charging
A knight scaling the castle walls
Soldiers firing a catapult
Some sample cards from the medieval life section include:
A princess reading a scroll
A noble riding around the manor
A serf digging a moat
A peasant bringing grain to the mill
A queen sitting on the throne
There are 54 cards, which is quite a lot for playing games, so teachers can emphasize what they
want by removing some cards if desired.
Print two copies of the cards and paste on posterboard to
make a deck of cards to play Go Fish, review the vocabulary, or play Memory.
Go Fish:
Students each get 2 or 3 cards dealt to them. Going clockwise students try to match up their
cards by asking other students if they have a matching card. Interactions are as follows:
Student A: Do you have a knight charging?
Student B: Yes, I do. (Student B gives card to student A and student A gets a point).
or
Student A: Do you have s serf digging a moat?
Student B: No, I don't. (Student A takes a card from the deck).
