How to make an activity booklet from digital file folder activities
I simply trimmed the inside pages and pasted onto astrobrights (for a fun pop of color) and then trimmed the astrobright paper a little bit as well so that it could fit nicely in a laminating sleeve with the tab on the edge. Then I laminated using my personal 9″ laminator and trimmed off the extra lamination.
Binding with a Proclick
You could also hole punch and put into a binder or use binding rings as well if you don’t have a binding machine.
Velcro trick number 1
There’s a few reasons for this: it helps the pieces stick to the page easily (if you use two tiny dots, they can be difficult for students to match up perfectly), it makes it easy to take off (sometimes two big dots can stick together almost too well), and you can see the images on the page better too because the dot is smaller!
Velcro trick number 2
Another Velcro trick I use it to alternative the soft/hard on the page/pieces for the file folder activity (or book). The first two activities here are similar pumpkin matching, but the first page has larger pumpkins. Since I “switched” my Velcro rules on the file folders, the pumpkins from the second activity simply won’t stick to the pumpkin on the first activity!
How else do you prep your “file folder” activities?
Have you ever prepped your file folder activities a different way too? I’d love to hear about it!
