Give your students the tools to talk about what they use every day with this School Supplies Vocabulary Mini-Book. Featuring essential classroom vocabulary words, this foldable resource is designed for ELL, ESL, and EFL learners as well as early elementary students. It’s the perfect way to introduce or review words like pencil, notebook, scissors, ruler, and more through a fun, hands-on activity.
The best part? This print-and-fold mini-book uses just one sheet of paper and requires minimal prep (a single fold and one cut). Students can create their own mini picture dictionary that can be kept in interactive notebooks, used as a take-home practice tool, or saved as part of a year-long vocabulary collection. With both color and black-and-white versions, students can read, spell, write, or even color their way to stronger vocabulary retention. Versions with and without words are included, making this activity adaptable for all levels.
