Answer When Audio-Enabled Flashcards Cards for Kids

Audio-Enabled Flashcards for Answering “When?” Questions 

Knowing when something happens is an important part of language development. Children need to understand and use words such as morning, night, today, tomorrow, yesterday, weekend and seasons to talk about routines, events and experiences.

Answer “When?” Questions – Talk About Time helps children develop the language they need to understand and answer “When?” questions while building their vocabulary around time and everyday events.

The cards use clear, relatable pictures to connect time concepts with familiar situations. They are also audio-enabled through the Chatter Bugs app, allowing children to hear and practise the target language in English and additional languages.

Is your child ready to answer “When?” questions?

This resource can help if your child:

• Understands familiar routines but finds it difficult to talk about when they happen

• Needs support answering questions such as “When do you eat breakfast?”

• Is learning words related to time

• Needs help understanding concepts such as morning, evening, today, tomorrow and yesterday

• Is beginning to talk about routines and events

• Needs support using time words in sentences

• Benefits from visual and audio language support

• Is developing comprehension and expressive language

Why are “When?” questions important?

Children answer many different types of questions as their language develops.

Who? tells us about people.

What? tells us about things or actions.

Where? tells us about places.

When? tells us about time.

Being able to answer a “When?” question helps children understand and communicate information about when an event happens.

For example:

“When do you sleep?”

“At night.”

“When do you go to school?”

“In the morning.”

These simple answers provide an important foundation for talking about routines, experiences, stories and events.

From learning time words to answering questions

This resource supports an important progression in language development:

Learn time words → Understand time concepts → Answer “When?” questions → Talk about routines → Use temporal language in sentences

A child may first learn:

“Morning.”

Then understand the concept in context:

“We eat breakfast in the morning.”

Then answer a question:

“When do you eat breakfast?”

“In the morning.”

With practice, children can begin using time words more independently when talking about their own experiences.

Time concepts children can talk about

The cards introduce language used to describe different times and periods, helping children connect abstract time concepts with familiar visual situations.

Children can practise concepts such as:

• Morning

• Afternoon

• Evening

• Night

• Today

• Tomorrow

• Yesterday

• Weekends

• Seasons

• Other everyday time-related concepts

Connecting these words to familiar routines and events helps make the concept of time more concrete and meaningful.

Audio-enabled for listening and language learning

The cards are audio-enabled through the Chatter Bugs app, allowing children to listen to the target language while looking at the visual example.

Children can:

• Look at the picture

• Listen to the question

• Hear the answer

• Repeat the time word or phrase

• Answer the question independently

• Use the time word in their own sentence

The audio can be listened to and recorded in English and additional languages including Hindi, Tamil, Punjabi, Kannada and Telugu, making the resource particularly useful for multilingual language learning.

What skills does this resource support?

Answering “When?” questions

Children practise understanding and responding to questions about time.

Time vocabulary

Children learn words and phrases used to talk about when events happen.

Comprehension

Children connect spoken questions and answers with visual situations.

Expressive language

Children practise using time words to communicate information about routines and events.

Sentence formation

Children learn to incorporate temporal language into meaningful sentences.

Understanding routines

Time words help children understand and talk about familiar daily activities.

Temporal concepts

Children develop their understanding of concepts such as before, after, today, tomorrow and different times of day.

Conversation skills

Being able to answer “When?” questions helps children participate more effectively in everyday conversations.

How to use the cards

Start by looking at the picture together and talking about what is happening.

Listen to the audio and repeat the question and answer.

Then encourage your child to answer independently.

For example:

Adult: “When do we sleep?”

Child: “At night.”

You can then extend the activity:

“What do you do at night?”

Or connect the concept to your child's own routine:

“When do you go to school?”

“When do we eat dinner?”

“When is your birthday?”

This helps children move from practising the answer on the card to using time language in real conversations.

From answering to talking about time

The goal is not simply to teach children to memorise answers to “When?” questions.

It is to help them understand that time words give us information about when something happens.

A child can move from:

“Night.”

to:

“At night.”

and eventually:

“I sleep at night.”

This progression helps children use time concepts as part of their own language rather than simply identifying them.

Who can use these cards?

This resource can be used by:

• Parents and caregivers

• Early-years educators

• Teachers

• Speech and language professionals

• Children developing comprehension

• Children developing expressive language

• Children learning English as an additional language

• Multilingual families

The cards can be used during short, focused language sessions or naturally incorporated into everyday conversations and routines.

Helping children understand when things happen

Knowing the word “morning” is useful.

Being able to answer:

“When do you go to school?”

with:

“In the morning.”

is a much more powerful communication skill.

As children develop, they can use time language to talk about what happened, what is happening and what will happen.
