Turn your own vocabulary lists into free time activities flash cards
Skip the generic printable sheet. Upload your worksheet, slides or notes and DeckOwl turns the words your class uses into flashcards with spaced repetition.
Why a custom set beats a printable sheet
Most printable sheets of flash cards for free time activities list the same hobbies in the same order, so they rarely match the words your teacher actually tests. DeckOwl reads your own PDF, slides, notes or a photo of a worksheet and turns that vocabulary into cards you can study with spacing.
- Cards come from the exact words on your handout, not a generic list
- Pairs like go swimming, do yoga and play chess can each get their own card
- Photos of worksheets are read with text recognition
- Edit any card before you start studying
Built from your material
Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text file or a photo of a worksheet, and the cards follow your own vocabulary list.
Spaced repetition
Cards you miss come back sooner, so activity words like pottery or birdwatching stick without re-reading a list.
Quizzes and mind maps too
Turn the same notes into multiple choice, true/false or short answer quizzes, or a mind map of activity categories.
How it works
Add your source
Upload the sheet, slide deck, notes or a photo of the page you were given.
Generate the cards
DeckOwl reads the text and writes question and answer pairs for each activity term.
Study in the browser
Review the cards with spaced repetition, and edit any card that doesn't match your class.
Activity vocabulary is easy to mix up. Learners often say play yoga instead of do yoga, or do swimming instead of go swimming. Writing those pairs as separate cards, with the verb on the back, makes the pattern stick faster than a list you read once.

Frequently asked questions
How do I teach free time activities vocabulary to ESL students?
Start with a short set of 10 to 15 activity words, and group them by verb: go for activities ending in -ing, do for activities like yoga or puzzles, and play for games and sports. Review the same set for a few days before adding new words.
Which verb should I use with hobbies like painting or cycling?
Use go with activities ending in -ing, such as go cycling, and do with many other activities, such as do a painting class or do a puzzle. Play is used for games and sports, like play chess or play tennis.
Can I export these cards to Anki?
Yes, but exports are a paid feature. Plus ($39/year or $7.99/month) includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, and students get 40% off with a school email.
Is there a free plan?
