Water Transportation is always a favorite topic, especially with the boys! The Water Transport Themed Lap-Book will develop your young learners’ memory and speaking skills as well as improve their vocabulary and fine-motor muscles.
Water Transport Themed Lap-Book
1 – I know my colors!
Play ‘I Spy with my little eye, something that is green’ etc. Show the children how to cut out and assemble the ‘Colors’ pocket for the lap book.
Ask the children to trace the color words, to color the tugboats the same color and to cut out the pictures. Children name all the colors. When you are done with the activity, the children put their cards together in a pile and place them in the pocket in the lap book.
We assembled it into a little book and stapled it together. I this way, the cards didn’t fly all over the place every time the children handled the books.
2 – Types of Water Transportation
Show the children pictures of all the different modes of water transportation on Google. Show children how to cut out and assemble the ‘Water Transportation’ pocket for the lap book.
Children color and cut out the pictures. The teacher calls out a Water Transportation word and the children find that picture and put it in the air.
3 – Alphabetical Order
Place letter cards A – Z on the floor. Ask volunteers to jump on the letters as everyone sings the ABC song. Show children how to cut out and assemble the ‘ABC’s’ pocket for the lap book. Children color and cut out the cards and put them in the correct order from A to Z.
4 -Ten little Sail Boats for Lap Book
Listen to 10 Little Sailboats from Super Simple Songs. Show the children how to cut out and assemble the ‘10 Little Sailboats’ pocket for the lap book.
Children color and cut out the 10 little sailboats on the next page (make sure they cut on the lines). Ask children to order their pictures from 1 – 10. Listen to the song again. Children point to the correct numbers as they sing along.
When you are done with the activity, the children put their cards together in a pile and place them in the pocket in the lapbook
5 – Shapes
Play ‘I Spy with my little eye, something that is round’ etc. Show children how to cut out and assemble the ‘Shapes’ pocket for the lap book. Children color and cut out the shapes and the pictures of the boats.
Ask children to name all the shapes. When you are done with the activity, the children put their cards together in a pile and place them in the pocket in the lapbook.
