2. Cut out the flash cards. Paste the question and answer for each card on opposite sides of a 3" x 5" index card with the question on the front and the answer on the back. Pasting the questions and answers on index cards will make the cards more durable, allowing for longer use.
3. Once the flash cards are pasted on 3" x 5" index cards, stack them together with all of the questions facing the same side.
