A Flip Chute can be used for practicing many skills. To create the cards, simply cut cardstock (or you can use index cards) in 2 inch squares. Place

the question on one side and the anwer on the other.

Students simply answer the question, place the card in the top slot and the answer comes out the bottom. For example, if this activity is used for short/long vowels, the student names the picture (e.g. bat), decides if the vowel is long or short and places the picture in the top slot. The correct answer comes out on the bottom!
