Lapbook Basics
Follow the instructions in the following page(s) to complete all the individual pieces that will go into your lap-
book. And then assemble as follows:
Open a file folder and fold in the two sides.
Glue the booklets inside. Close the shutters and decorate the cover.
If more space is needed to complete your project, there are several methods to extend your file folder. You
can fold another folder in the similar fashion and glue the back of section 3 of your first folder to the back of
section 1 of your second folder. You can also lay an additional piece of paper (card stock) just above or below
the middle section (2) of the folder. Use packing tape or other strong tape, secure the paper to the folder creat-
ing a flap that can be opened to display your student’s work. You can also staple the crease between sections
two and three of the first folder to the crease between sections one and two of the second folder using a long
stapler. This method will give you two additional surfaces to add your student’s completed work.
Some students prefer to assemble the lapbook after they have completed all the activities so they can arrange
their booklets, while others prefer to affix each booklet to the lapbook after each activity. Either way will
work.
A note on cutting and folding. In the following templates, please cut on the solid lines. The black dotted
lines are folding lines for mountain folds (when you are done folding, the black dotted lines should be on the
outside of the fold). The yellow dotted lines are for valley folds (when you are done folding, the line is tucked
on the inside of your fold). Do make sure that you use firm pressure to make your creases as sometimes these
creases will help the final booklet to fall into their proper positions.
For some younger students you may wish to have them dictate their answers to you or you may write down the
answers for them to copy.
Lapbooks not only are fun for kids to do and help with their information retention, they also serve as a perma-
nent record of their learning. The students can refer to it when looking for information, or they can use it in
presentations to friends and relatives thus further reinforcing their learning.
I hope your student(s) will enjoy this lapbook and the information learned will remain with them.
