Oceania Lapbook Instructions

Print country matchbooks two sided (flip along the long side of the paper) Print Oceania features two sided (flip along the long side of the paper). Print the Oceania map and the cover . Laminate or contact paper the map and glue or tape into the middle section of the lapbook (if desired). Fold the matchbooks along the dotted lines and glue onto one side flap of the lapbook. (the order really doesn’t matter) Fold the Features along the solid lines and glue onto the other side flap and in the middle as desired. You can see how I laid them out in the picture below, however it’s really up to you how to arrange them! Let your students decide. Use the laminated map in the middle for students to quiz themselves using a dry erase marker. They can test themselves on the country names and capitals and the bodies of water. Alternatively, you could not laminate it, and just allow students to color, and label. Extra space was left in the matchbooks so your students can add any extra info they find interesting! Consider adding trees, songs, patron saints, etc!
