Bring the outdoors into your classroom with this Garden Vocabulary Mini-Book. Perfect for ESL, ELL, and EFL learners as well as early elementary students, this easy-to-assemble mini-book introduces and reinforces basic outdoor vocabulary words related to the garden. It’s an engaging way for students to practice spelling, reading, and word recognition while building a personal picture dictionary.
The best part? This print-and-fold mini-book requires just one sheet of paper and minimal prep—simply fold and cut once, and students have an 8-page mini-book ready to go. Available in both color and black-and-white versions, it can be used with or without text. The no-text option is perfect for writing practice or labeling activities, while the B/W version doubles as a fun coloring activity.
