Face-down card board
Every card dealt face down at once and opened in any order. Revision that feels like a game show wall.
When to use it
Revising facts a class must know by heart, such as symbols, dates or key terms, on the classroom screen. A starter where pupils take turns to call out which card to open next. The lesson before a test, when the board fills up to show how much has been covered.
What makes it this
Built on the Flash cards generator with these changed. Everything else is the default.
- Deal the cards as a board
Every card is laid out face down at once and turned over in any order, instead of the deck dealing them one at a time.

Twelve cards, face down, in no particular order. Open any card, name the element before you turn it over, and read the answer — the card closes itself after a few seconds. The board is finished when every card has been opened.
12 cards
Why the example is built this way
-
Short fronts, readable across the room.
With twelve cards on the board each one is small, so put one or two characters or a single word on the front. Set Maximum cards per row to four and twelve cards lay out as three rows of four.
-
Six seconds to read the answer.
On a board, a card closes itself after it has been turned over. Pause between cards sets how long the answer stays up, and the two-second default is too short to read it. Players can close it sooner.
-
Numbered cards and a closing message.
Every player's board is shuffled differently, so Number the cards lets you say card seven and everyone finds it. Turn on Message when they finish too: the board has no ending of its own.
