LA 23 : Pop Up House

Skill : Language Arts

Year : 2

Topic : The Old House

Assalamualaikum and Hi!

Today, we did something new to me and to my pupils too. It is a pop up house! This lesson catered the content in page 72 related to a song. I seriously found that the song is very mysterious and fun too! We managed to sing the song and of course, introducing the vocabulary (the animals) is an essential thing to do.

Initially, I was planning to do a 3D house but I am pretty lazy and tired to prepare about 100 worksheets for the pupils (3 clasess, so you know what I meant). Thus, I simply asked them to bring their own materials to make this. Let's check it out!

My sample (focus on the lizard!)

Superminds, Page 72. Audio : CD 2, Track 40.

As you can see from the Superminds' book above, those are the contents in the house that the pupils needed to draw. I haven't finish mine since I was too busy with so many things this week. But, I have prepared the pictures of animals that needed to be included in my pop up house. Don't worry, I will definitely upload them here. Wait and keep reading!

WHAT DO YOU NEED?

• Drawing papers (probably 165gsm onwards better). 
• Scissors
• Pencil
• Colours
• Animal characters (DOWNLOAD HERE)
• Creativity

HOW TO DO IT?

1. Firstly, sketch any design of a house that you would like to do. I did something a bit different than my pupils'. They did a simple version of roof while mine was a bit weird. Haha!

2. Fold the side of the drawing paper into two. Draw the shape of the house (one side only). Make sure to cut the straight line part and do not cut the dashed part. I did not take any picture of the drawings with the dashed and straight line. Sorry for that. But, you can check out the next step k.

3. Then, start drawing your sketch into the drawing paper. Something like this.

4. Colour them according to your own creativity. Then, paste the given animal characters to match with the song that you have learnt. That's why you can see why the lizard is there in the bedroom! (refer to my sample)

5. How to pop them up? Simply follow the steps of FOLD and PUSH FORWARD.

There you are, a pop up house! :) I am truly sorry that I did not provide a complete sample with the animal characters on it. But, I hope you can relate it by looking at the Superminds' book page 72 that I have provided above. 

Thanks for reading! ^^
