Make the last weeks of school meaningful with this end-of-year student flap book activity. Designed as a reflective keepsake, this printable project gives students a fun and creative way to look back on their school year, highlight favorite memories, and showcase what they’ve learned. It works wonderfully as a classroom writing activity, memory book, or take-home project that families will treasure for years.
This resource is perfect for elementary students, ESL/EFL learners, and bilingual classrooms. With easy-to-assemble pages, kids can reflect on their favorite subjects, books, field trips, friends, and accomplishments. Teachers can use this project during the final days of school to create a calm, purposeful activity that encourages self-expression while reinforcing sentence writing, personal narrative skills, and vocabulary.
What’s Included
- 5-page flap book (prints on just two sheets of paper for easy prep)
- Color and black-and-white versions for flexible printing and student personalization
How to Use
Simply print the pages, cut along the dashed lines, and stack and staple to create a flap book. Students then complete each flap with drawings, sentences, or short paragraphs. Prompts include their favorite memories, best friends, things they learned, and goals for the future. This activity works well as an independent project, small group reflection, or whole-class writing task. Once completed, students can present their flap books in a gallery walk or take them home as a special year-end memory book.
