These free flash card templates give you Word documents on US Letter and A4: vocabulary flash cards, question and answer flash cards and math fact flash cards, each with a back page that lines up when you print double-sided, plus blank lined and plain 3 x 5 index cards and lined 4 x 6 index cards, in colour and in black and white. Every template is human-made by a teacher: I’m Patrick Elliott, a teacher and Inclusion Lead, and I designed and built each one myself in Microsoft Word, then printed them to check they line up and fill the page as they should.

In this guide, you’ll find which cards to use, how to print them double-sided so the backs line up, and how to study with them.

How Do You Make Flash Cards in Word?

Flash cards put a question on the front and the answer on the back, so you can test yourself. In Word, the easiest way is a page of fixed-size cards with a second page for the backs, laid out so each back prints behind its front. These cards are an exact 3 x 5 inches, four to a page, with dashed cutting lines shared by neighbouring cards, so one cut separates two.

Which Flash Cards Should You Use?

• Vocabulary flash cards: the word and its part of speech on the front, the definition and an example sentence on the back.
• Question and answer flash cards: for any subject: a question on the front, the answer on the back.
• Math fact flash cards: times tables to start, editable for addition, subtraction or division facts.
• Blank index cards: lined or plain 3 x 5 cards and lined 4 x 6 cards for notes, speeches and recipes.
• For more practice, see the multiplication worksheets.

How to Print Flash Cards Double-Sided

1. Choose your paper size above, download the ZIP and open the cards you want.
2. Click each word, question or fact on page 1 and type your own, then type the matching answers on page 2.
3. Print at 100% (Actual size) on card stock if you have it.
4. Choose double-sided printing and Flip on short edge, so each back lands behind its front.
5. Cut along the dashed lines. Use the small number on each card to check the pairs.

Print one test sheet on plain paper first and hold it up to the light to check the backs line up. Colour-code each subject with the card frames, and keep the cards together with a binder ring.

Black and White Versions

Every template on this page also comes in a black and white version with the same layout: grey headings and an outlined title, so it prints clearly on any printer and saves ink. In the download box, choose Colour, Black and white or All, then your paper size: A4, US Letter or both.

How to Print at the Right Size

1. Open the template in Word and press Ctrl + P (Cmd + P on a Mac).
2. Choose the paper size in the file name: A4 for UK and Australian sheets, US Letter for US sheets.
3. Set scaling to 100% or Actual size, not Fit to page.
4. Print one sheet and measure a row with a ruler before you print a class set.

Every sheet keeps a 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) margin on all sides, so nothing is cut off on home inkjets, school laser printers or older printers with a wide edge.
