Gather the number of folders required for the project. Fold them flat as seen here.

Original fold line

For each folder, fold the left and right sides inward toward the original line to create two flaps. Crease so that the highest part of each flap is touching the original line. It is important not to let the two flaps overlap. You may want to take a ruler and run it down each crease to make it sharper.

GLUE

Glue your folders together by putting glue (or you may staple) on the inside of the flaps. Then press the newly glued flaps together with your hands until they get a good strong hold to each other. Follow this step to add as many folders as you need for your project. Most of our lapbooks have either 2 or 3 folders.

My child has made several lapbooks. Can I store all of the lapbooks together in one place?

Yes! A three-ring binder serves as a great place to keep your lapbooks. This method of storage not only keeps your lapbooks from getting lost but also keeps them neat and readily available to share with dad, grandparents, friends, etc. When you are through sharing your lapbooks, just place the three-ring binder back on your bookshelf! Below are step-by-step directions of how to prepare each lapbook to be placed a in a three-ring binder.

Supplies and Storage

Close the lapbook. Measure a piece of duct tape that is as long as the lapbook. Place the edge of the duct tape on the top edge of the lapbook. Then fold the duct tape over so that it can be placed on the bottom edge. Make sure to leave enough duct tape sticking out from the edges to punch three holes. Be careful when punching the holes that you do not punch the holes in the folder. If you do, that’s okay. Then place in three-ring binder. Depending on the size of your three-ring binder, you can store many lapbooks in it.


Sample Page

1. Label your tabs: Study Guide/Mini Booklets, Book Log, NICK Notes(easier) or Outline Form (harder), Biography Reports, What I Learned Pages (Copywork and Notebooking, if using these).

2. You will find a master copy of all of these special pages at the back of the lapbook packet. Make copies of the NICK Notes or Outline Form, Biography Report (if included), and What I Learned Pages and put them behind the tabs. Make more copied of the Book Log if your child reads a lot and needs more room to log books. We will explain how your child can use all of these enrichment pages later.

3. Hole punch your study guide and mini-booklets sheets and place behind the Study Guide tab. You will read a page of a study guide. Behind the study guide is the booklet(s) that goes with that study guide.

4. Keeping your office supplies handy-Measure the bottom of a quart size zip-lock bag. Then measure out a strip of duct tape that length. Lay the zip-lock bag on the lower edge of the tape. Fold the other end of the tape down on the zip-lock bag. Your duct tape should be sticking out from the bag. Now, you can hole punch the duct tape strip. DO NOT HOLE PUNCH INTO THE BAG! Then put it into your 3-ring binder. Use this bag to store items you will be using for your lapbook. Glue, scissors, hole puncher, stapler and extra staples, crayons, pencils, brads, ribbon, and any unfinished work. Doing this one step keeps you from having to constantly gather supplies every time you want to work on your lapbook!

Supplies Need:

½ inch three-ring binder

5 tabs (if you are using our copywork and/or notebooking pages, you will need to have 7 tabs. Label with copywork and notebooking)

Quart size baggies

Duct tape

Your study guide and mini-booklets pages and copies of the enrichment pages at the end

Office supplies-glue, scissors, brads, stapler, pencils, crayons, and ribbon (if needed)

Who Were The Ancient Greeks?

The ancient Greeks lived from around 3,000 B.C. to 140 B.C. The Greek people originated in Greece, but slowly traveled north and east to places we now call Bulgaria, Turkey and around the rocky islands in the Aegean Sea. The Greeks were very intelligent people. They had a strong army and beautiful homes and buildings. They taught their children to be great thinkers, artists, and athletes. The Greeks were ruled by one of three types of government- an oligarchy, monarchy, and a democracy.

An oligarchy is rule by a few very rich and powerful people. A monarchy is government by one person and a democracy is run by its citizens and the rules of laws and votes. Since education was not free, only the children of the rich attended school. Only boys were sent to school. Girls were educated in the running of the home. At the age of 18, all men were expected to serve in the army for their entire life.

The clothing of the Greeks was light, loose-fitting, and comfortable. There were no buttons or zippers. Their garments were called tunics. A tunic is a big square of cloth that is draped around the body and held in place by pins at the shoulders. Many are belted around the waist. Most were made of bright colors and decorated with trim. Wool, linen, or even silk were used to make the tunics. Both men and women wore makeup.

The Greeks supported themselves in many ways-fishing, farming, and making and selling leather goods. During the Greek Dark Age, people learned to forge iron. They began to make sickles and other farm tools out of this strong metal.

The Origin of the Ancient Olympic

Games

The Ancient Olympic Games were a religious event for the Greeks to honor their greatest god, Zeus. The games were first played in 776 B.C. and continued until 393 A.D. Held in Olympia, Greece, representatives from various city-states across Greece got together to compete in athletic games.

Prizes were awarded to winners in each competition. Prizes may have included olive wreaths, palm branches, and woolen ribbons. The games were just for men. Women were forbidden to participate.

The Ancient Olympics were held every four years. This period became known as an “Olympiad” and was used as a reference point to date events in Greece.
