Words

English words for kids by place: 998 words with pictures and printable flashcards

These are all 998 English words children find in Kadoo, in the 11 places of its town and their 43 rooms. Each place's page shows the words with the pictures children see in the app and the voice that says them, and every room's words print as flashcards: 1,699 cards in all, free for home and classroom use.

Kadoo's town map, with its eleven places

The places are listed in the order they open in Kadoo, from the words children usually learn earliest to the ones they learn later, so the first pages are a good place to start with a young child.

How to use these words

Pick one room and five words a day, not a whole page. Say each word as you point at the picture, then at the real thing if you have it. The next day, start with yesterday's five before adding new ones: young children say new words more readily after meeting them on several different days than after hearing them many times in one go (Childers and Tomasello, 2002).

Teachers can print a room's flashcards for a lesson on that topic: the kitchen for food, the classroom for school things, the farm for animals.

Kadoo is free to download.

For iPhone and iPad, and Macs with Apple silicon. The house is free to play; Kadoo Full Access or Kadoo Family Plus opens the whole town.
