How to Use the Pack
Here are some easy ideas that will show you exactly what to do to get the most out of this captivating pack!
1. LAMINATE THE ACTIVITIES TO PROLONG THEIR USE
Many of our activities like our puzzles can be laminated and used over and over again. Simply laminate the page and use dry-erase markers if the kids need to write, trace, color or draw. This is a great option for teachers because its a greener option and saves prep time for the following year!
2. OPT FOR THE BLACK AND WHITE OPTION TO INCREASE ACTIVITY DURATION
We have included 2 options, color and black and white to suit your printing needs. Both files are stunning and can be effective depeding on your learning needs.
If you find that your kids are early finishers, the black-and-white option prolongs each activity. Kids first have to color in the elements and this also makes it extra special.
3. SET UP A CLASS DISPLAY FOR FINISHED ACTIVITIES
Doing the activities are fun but what do you do with all the completed worksheets and crafts?
Set up a display corner and show the kids that their work is special. You can also let them take it home. A fun idea that a fellow teacher suggested to me was creating a ‘memory book’. Give each child a pocket file or empty book and let them stick their favourite worksheets in there. At the end of the year they can see their progress and you can track it too!
