Backpack Flashcards

The teacher will die-cut the materials for student use prior to the lesson.

1. Die-cut the Backpack shape from assorted colors using cardstock or construction paper. Leave one Backpack whole.
2. Trim along the perforations of the handles on another Backpack, and attach the trimmed handles to the whole Backpack.
3. A watermark pen will add a slightly deeper color to add details and shading. Crayons, markers or pens can also be used to add details.
4. Die-cut various letters from the Boss-O! Alphabet using construction paper. Attach a letter to each Backpack.
5. Die-cut several Chinese New Year’s Animals or other appropriately sized shapes from assorted colors of cardstock. Decorate the animals or shapes as desired.
6. Students find the animal name that begins with the letter on a corresponding Backpack and slide the correct animal into the slit on the Backpack (Main Photo).
7. Use upper and lowercase letters or math problems to introduce or reinforce skills.
