Flap Books
Flap books are versatile, creative, easy-to-make projects that can be used in any content area. Flap books can be used with vocabulary words, illustrating story structure, life cycles, and much, much more.
- Take a 12" x 18" or 9" x 12" piece of construction paper and fold it into eighths.
- Open and cut to the center of the fold as shown.
- Fold flaps down.
- Write the vocabulary words on the top flaps. In this example, we have picked vocabulary words from a study of Fort Mose.
- Open the flaps and illustrate each of the vocabulary words one at a time.
- Optional: You can have the students use the vocabulary words in a sentence below their illustrations.
