Task Card Examples

This Google Doc contains ready-to-use task card examples for different center types. Task cards tell students what to do at a center without needing an adult, making centers more self-sufficient and freeing you to work with small groups.

How to Use

  • Print and laminate for durability
  • Display at each center alongside necessary materials
  • Include visuals and simple text so all learners can access them
  • Rotate task cards to keep centers fresh
