Headbands

 Have an extra 5 min?  Not sure how to entertain the class?  This activity is for you.  

The activity promotes vocabulary, thinking outside the box, detailed thoughts and descriptions.  A great way to promote science terms such as alive, non-living, describing an items such as man-made, not man made, gas, liquid, sold etc.  

Make a head band out of cardstock.  Clip the picture onto the from of the cardstock.  


When the cards are laminated they will last longer.  I use Swingline 13".  You can purchase it here at amazon.ca. There are a lot of laminators online but I found this one years ago and it still works great.  I also have a larger size one that will process 11x17 sheets.  If you think you'd use that size then I'd recommend this one. Amazon.ca. I would use the 5ml laminating sheets for the cards as they will used quite a bit and that will be best for overall use.  These are the 3 ml. I use for most items. Click HERE. If you'd like the 5ml I use these.  Click HERE for the link to amazon.


I have used Popsicle sticks (the dollar store)and print students names on them to pick who gets to wear the headband.  Once the Popsicle sticks have all been been chosen I'll turn the Popsical stick upside down.  Once they are all upside down I start the choosing all over again.  


There are 80 cards to choose from.  Everyday items to all types of animals.  Have fun and enjoy a quick 5 min game.  Follow the link to our TPT store to buy this product.
