Having kids use foldables is a great way for students to remember new information.  It helps engage students in their learning,  provide kinesthetic feedback for students, and helps students learn to take notes.  I got the idea for this vocabulary foldable from A teacher's treasure blog.    I put my own twist on the idea and have created a printable that you can use for the foldable.

This abc file-folder game helps kids to put letter in alphabetical order.  They Will need to help frog put the caterpillar together by first finding the caterpillars head and then putting all of the letters in order.  This is going to be one very long caterpillar when done.  This is a perfect activity to go along with Eric Carle's book the Very Hungry Caterpillar.

Little Blue Men are coming to earth and are trying to learn English.  They already learned some prefixes and they've sent out scouts to collect words.  Your students job is to match root words to a prefixes, then record their observations on a recording sheet.  (Note:  I'm using root word here to mean any word that a prefix can be added to,  not the smallest unit of meaning.  I'm doing this to have students focus on the prefix and its meaning.)
