LA 19 : Surprising Magic Book

Year : 1 - 6
Lesson : Language Arts / Writing

Hello there!

So, this week, we've been through a three-day course related to the Curriculum Induction for the CEFR. One of the things that we have learnt that attracted me the most was a session of making the magic book. During the IPG life, we have attended a course which also taught us on how to make a magic book (which I was really excited that time), but this version of magic book is waaaayyy too awesome and pretty tricky!

You can check the link for the normal magic book that we always heard HERE

So, the pictures below are the samples of magic books that our group made during the course. Normally, this can be done for riddles or any quizzes with plenty of clues. The inside part is hidden and can be shown by opening the outside (clues part). See for more information at the end of this post.

This is a pretty simple thing to make and quite surprising too!. Check out for further tutorial here, since I did not have any videos while making one during the course.

LA 18 : 3D Foldable Crafts (Vehicles, Buildings, Animals, Toys)

Year : 1 - 6 (based on the suitability of the crafts)
Lesson : Language Arts

Hello there!

Well, today I would like to share a new craft that I bought at a DIY store. Sorry, but I can't remember the exact price of it. Just check it out at the store. It is a 16 scissors-less craft because it was supposed to be directly done from the given template. But, to provide each for the pupil, I have scanned it, edit it into black and white template so that they can colour it according to their preferences. So, here's what it looks like :

The original one is pretty thick and we just need directly take it out from the cut outs and assemble it. So, I have conducted this class with my Year 3 pupils as a freedom day of the week. My sample of the paper 3D foldable craft looked like this :

Double Decker Bus

As usual, I've prepared the edited (black and white) template for you to print it out and carry out in your lesson. Here's the link :

P/s : I used this as a reward for those who completed their works properly throughout the week. It works well! Thanks for reading! :)
