Affiliate Disclaimer

We sometimes use affiliate links in our content. This won't cost you anything, but it helps us to keep the site running. Thanks for your support.

When my students were in elementary school, we used lapbooks to spur on interest-led learning. We'd go to the library, check out a stack of books about whatever my boys were interested in, and then we'd head home to read the books and make a lapbook.

Some of the pre-made lapbooks at Homeschool Share are a result of my boys' interest-led learning. But not every topic they wanted to study was made into a pre-made lapbook. Sometimes, we'd just take templates and do our own thing. My oldest son would know exactly which mini-books he wanted in his lapbook, and I'd print templates for him, so he could be in charge of the project.

If you would like to make your own lapbook, we have a few options for lapbook templates for you.

What Is a Lapbook?

A lapbook is a file folder (refolded) with a collection of mini-books inside. These mini-books are typically all about one topic or based on one unit study.

Christmas Around the World: Sweden Lapbook Example

If you are brand new to lapbooking, check out this How to Make a Lapbook page. You'll find lapbook examples, tips, benefits, supply ideas, and so much more!

What Is a Lapbook Template?

A lapbook template is a mini-book outline provided for you on a page. You print the page; then your student can add words and images to create a mini-book.

Free Printable Lapbook Templates

Homeschool Share has several pages of basic lapbook templates. I consider this group of templates to be straightforward and easier to use than some of the other mini-book folds.

The free printable lapbook templates are found on these pages:

Pro Tip: If you want to make the templates smaller, you can shrink the size when you print. Just go in to your custom printer properties and define the percentage you want to reduce.

If you would rather not spend all day hunting and pecking through the links above to find the templates you need, you can simply buy this bundled set of Basic Lapbook Templates from the Tip-Top Printables Shop.

Bonus Lapbook Templates

In addition to the mini-books we offer for free download, we also have a special set of Bonus Lapbook Templates for subscribers only. Some of these options are a little more advanced than the basic lapbook templates we offer here on site at Homeschool Share.

The bonus lapbook templates includes these types of mini-books: special matchbooks, a wheel book, envelope book, t-books, concept maps, 3/4 books, and more!

If you'd like to snag the bonus templates, use the form below to subscribe to Homeschool Share's newsletter. After you confirm your email, the bonus templates will be sent directly to your inbox.

Editable Lapbook Templates

The third lapbook template set we offer is editable lapbook templates.

Most of the templates at Homeschool Share will need printed and then your student can write and draw on them.

However, if you have PowerPoint, you can add your own text (hello to all the fonts you love!) and you can add your own images (again, yay for cute clip-art!).

This set boasts over 100 customizable templates! You can read more about the Editable Lapbook Templates here, or you check out the templates the Tip-Top Printables Shop.

Graphic Organizer Lapbook Templates

Do we have a fourth set of templates? Yes, we do!

Graphic Organizer Lapbook Templates are a fantastic way to promote reading comprehension skills and boost critical thinking skills. This set of 40 templates can be used with any fiction or nonfiction text.

More Lapbook Help

We also offer dozens and dozens of ideas on our Lapbook Ideas page. You'll find monthly inspiration as well as ideas for lapbook bases, covers, and all kinds of things you can include in your lapbooks. You'll also find links to our most popular lapbook indexes.

Happy Lapbooking!

Teaching Charlie and the Cholocate Factory this Year?

Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a beloved classic and timeless favourite of teachers and students.

You see, "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" by Roald Dahl is a true masterpiece of children's literature. It is a book that can inspire and delight both teachers and students alike. The story is brimming with imagination and playfulness, with relatable and lovable characters. But beneath the surface, deeper themes of kindness and perseverance are so crucial for young people to learn. The world of Willy Wonka is truly magical, and it can spark creativity in children; it can help them to see that anything is possible when you put your mind to it. And it is this sense of wonder and possibility that makes this book so enduring and beloved.

Charlie Bucket lives on the outskirts of town with his poverty-stricken family: his parents and all four grandparents. Each day on his way to school, Charlie passes the best and biggest chocolate factory in the world, run by the secretive Willy Wonka.

Things go from bad to worse when Charlie's father loses his job. Grandpa Joe tells Charlie that competitors stole Wonka's candy-making secrets in the past, and the factory shut down. Later, the factory resumed production, but no one was ever seen entering or leaving.

One day, Wonka announces that he has hidden golden tickets in five Wonka chocolate bars, with the prize of a factory tour and a lifetime supply of Wonka products for each child who finds a ticket. Wonka-mania encircles the globe, and four tickets are found one by one. Charlie finds money sticking out of a snowbank and buys two Wonka chocolate bars; the second contains the last golden ticket.

Students love learning through Bloom's Taxonomy.

You know how sometimes you're just memorizing facts in school, and it feels like it doesn't matter? Well, that's where Bloom's Taxonomy comes in. It's a way of creating tasks that are way more interesting and make you think. Instead of just remembering stuff, you get to analyze it and see how different things connect. And you can even evaluate and create something new based on what you learned.

It's not just about getting good grades; it's about truly understanding and using the knowledge in real life. And it makes you feel like you have more control over your learning like you're driving it. And that's pretty cool, right? Trust me; it's way more fun than just regurgitating information.

Also, you get to be creative and independent, which is crucial as you age. So next time you're in class and given a task, see if you can think about how it aligns with Bloom's Taxonomy; it might make it more exciting and meaningful for you.

For the first time in a decade, Willy Wonka, the reclusive and eccentric chocolate maker, is opening his doors to the public-well, five members of the public, actually. The lucky five who find a Golden Ticket in their Wonka bars will receive a private tour of the factory, given by Mr Wonka himself.

For young Charlie Bucket, this is a dream come true.

Teaching Ideas and Resources:

English

Retell the story from the point of view of one of the other children.

Retell the story from the point of view of an Oompa Loompa.

Write a letter from each of the children to Mr. Wonka after their visit to the factory.

Write a newspaper article which gives information about the day of the visit to the factory.

Imagine that the was one more ticket available, and a new child found it. What are they like? How do they feel about visiting the chocolate factory?

Look at the illustration of Charlie's house. Can you think of words to describe it? Could you write a paragraph, or more, about it? How is it similar / different to your house?

Imagine that Charlie kept a diary. Write about the days leading up to his discovery of the golden ticket. Write about the days after his trip to the factory.

Charlie's grandparents were 'as shrivelled as prunes' and 'as bony as skeletons'. Can you think of other similes to describe things?

Spies used to steal Willy Wonka's recipes. Write a top-secret report from a spy about what they have seen inside the factory.

Roald Dahl uses words like 'repulsive' and 'repulsive' to describe the Gloop family. Can you think of any other similar adjectives? Can you think of more positive adjectives?

Can you perform some of the scenes in the story as a drama activity, e.g. When Charlie buys a chocolate bar using the coin that he has found, When he goes to tell his family about the ticket, When Willy Wonka gives Charlie the factory.

Make up names for some of Wonka's newest chocolate bars, using the old names as a starting point for ideas.

Read the play adaptation of the book and perform it to others. Use it to learn about play scripts and how they are presented.

There is 'complete pandemonium' in Charlie's house when he finds the golden ticket. What does this mean?

Write a biography for Willy Wonka? Where was he born? What was his life like when he was growing up? What amazing adventures has he had throughout his life?

Create a storyboard which shows different scenes from the book, e.g. Mr. Wonka greeting the children when they first arrive at the factory, the exploration of the chocolate room, and travelling in the great glass lift.

Willy Wonka warns the children not to get lost when they first enter the Chocolate Factory. Imagine that one of them does wander off where they shouldn't. What might they discover?

Everything is made of sweets and chocolate in the Chocolate Room. Imagine that your classroom is made of similar things and describe what it is like.

The Oompa Loompa use words like 'gorge', 'guzzle', 'feed' and 'feast' in their songs to describe one of the children eating. Can you think of any other synonyms?

Identify rhyming words in the Oompa Loompa's songs. Can you find more words that rhyme with these? Could you make a rhyming dictionary?

Imagine that you were given a stick of Willy Wonka's chewing-gum meal. Write some sentences / paragraphs to describe how it tastes and how the delicious flavours change as you chew it.

Compare the illustrations of the children arriving at and leaving the factory. How have the children changed?

Look at these two trailers for the film versions of the book. How are they similar / different? Which portrayal of the film do you prefer? Why?

Think of words and phrases to describe chocolate and sweets. Look at pictures for inspiration (see Resources below).

Use the comprehension sheets contributed by Jonathan Gray (see Resources below).

Find out about the stage version of the book. Could you produce your own performance? You can also download a set of free resources linked to the stage production here.

Maths

Look at a selection of chocolate bars and sweet packets. Find out how much they weigh. Put the items in order, from the lightest to the heaviest.

Make a list of chocolate bars and their prices. Can you make some word problems using this information?

Find a recipe for making a chocolate cake. Can you use a ratio to work out the ingredients needed for different numbers of people?

Grandpa Joe offers Charlie a silver sixpence that he has been hiding. Can you investigate pre-decimal currency and find out how it differs from current denominations?

Charlie finds a 50p coin in the street. Find out what can be bought with just 50p. Explore how many fifty pence coins would be needed to buy certain items (e.g. a toothbrush, a magazine, a television).

Science

Charlie walks past the chocolate factory every day and smells the delicious chocolate. Later, he goes on to taste some of the delicious treats. Use this as a starting point for learning about different senses.

Prince Pondicherry wanted a palace made of chocolate. Discuss why chocolate might not be a very good building material.

If someone was given a lifetime supply of chocolate (like the children in the story), what might be the effect on their body?

Willy Wonka 'invented a way of making chocolate ice cream so that it stays cold for hours and hours without being in the refrigerator.' Could you investigate the best insulators to keep a pack of chocolate ice cream cold?

Charlie's house has 'little jets of freezing air' rushing through it. Investigate how houses are insulated to keep them warm and to save energy.

Learn how chocolate is made.

Mike Teavee has to be given vitamins to fatten him up after he is shrunk. Find out what vitamins do to our bodies. What effects to different vitamins have?

Design Technology

A ride based on this book was built at Alton Towers. Could you design your own ride linked to the book? Could you make a prototype?

Design a machine to help Mr. Bucket screw toothpaste caps on more quickly.

Design a new boat / craft which travels along the chocolate river.

Look at examples of different chocolate bars and sweets.Can you design your own chocolate bar and packaging?

Art

Design a golden ticket to be hidden inside a chocolate bar.

Draw pictures of the different expressions on Charlie's face at various points in the story, e.g. When he opens his birthday chocolate bar and doesn't find a golden ticket, when he finds the 50p in the street, when he meets Mr. Wonka for the first time?

When Willy Wonka describes Loompaland, he explains that it has 'thick jungles infested by the most dangerous beasts in the world - hornswogglers and snozzwangers and those terrible wicked whangdoodles.' Could you create a new creature from Loompaland? Could you add labels to show its different features?

Draw a picture of the Inventing Room in the chocolate factory. What happens inside there?

Design some lickable wallpaper for your bedroom. What would it have on it?

Music

The Oompa Loompas make up lots of songs throughout the story. Could you compose a tune for some of their songs? Could you make up new lyrics to describe another of the events in the story?

Listen to this soundtrack to the 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' ride at Alton Towers. Could you compose your own soundtrack for a film / ride about the book?

Geography

Find out where the ingredients of a chocolate bar come from. Could you plot these on a map?

Research chocolate factories around the world. Could you visit some of them, e.g. Cadbury World.

Make a map of the chocolate factory showing the different rooms described in the book.

Imagine that you could be sent anywhere in the world by TV. Where would you like to travel to? Why would you like to go there? How else could you travel there and how long would it take?

History

Draw a family tree which shows the members of Charlie Bucket's family.

Physical education

Plan and perform a new dance for the Oompa Loompas.

Welcome to day 10 of the 2012 ~ 10 Days of Homeschooling Blog Hop! This year my topic is 10 Days of Classic Literature. Over the last 10 days I have be sharing unit studies for classical literature, for a total of 10 units you can go through with your students!

Psst.... GIVEAWAY ALERT!...at the end of the blog hop I'll be offering a Giveaway for the ENTIRE set of Classical Literature unit studies, so make sure to enter at the bottom of this post!

Each unit study contains educational lessons, activities and a fun lap book that your students will work on as they progress through the book. They also include book reports, vocabulary, critical thinking, story timelines, and comprehension. These studies are geared towards grades Kindergarten-4th, but can probably be adapted for older students as well.

I really designed these units to be a fun addition to reading the classics. I didn't want them to be too stressful for myself or my kiddos, but instead give them something fun to do along with the stories to help them remember what they've learned in a fun hands-on way. The lap books included are wonderful for reviewing subject matter, and a great creative interactive homeschooling tool.
And without any further ado...here is today's unit:
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory based on the book by Roald Dahl

Charlie & the Chocolate Factory is a novel by Roald Dahl. The story was inspired by Roald's experience of chocolate companies during his school days. Cadbury and Rowntree's were England's two largest chocolate makers, both trying to steal trade secrets by sending spies into each other's companies.

This story tells of a poor boy named Charlie who wins a golden ticket that enables him to visit Willy Wonka's chocolate factory with four other children from around the world. Wonka's factory had been closed for 15 years prior to the public so this new tour was an exciting event! Inside the factory Charlie finds strange fantastical rooms, including a chocolate-mixing room that looks like a huge garden, where everything is made of candy!

"Accidents" happen to the other children as they progress through the factory tour, leaving Charlie the only child left. But don't worry, Wonka has a fun surprise for Charlie at the end of the tour!

In this unit students will create do a chocolate taste test, do some chocolate math, learn new vocabulary words, and do a character analysis.

They'll also make a fun chocolate bites recipe, write a few lines of their own version of the Oompa Loompa's song, and design their dream candy along with a recipe, and any unique features they can think of! They'll also learn quite a few valuable character traits along the way!

The units also include forms for predicting story plots, character analysis, identifying the protagonist and antagonist, a story timeline, and a final book report on the novel.

Do you remember the first time you read Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl? How about the movie? Brings back such great memories that I have been super excited to share with my son.

SCIENCE FOR KIDS

Science learning starts early, and you can be a part of that with setting up science at home with everyday materials. Or you can bring easy science experiments to a group of kids in the classroom!

We find a ton of value in cheap science activities and experiments. All our science experiments use inexpensive, everyday materials you can find at home or source from your local dollar store.

We even have a whole list of kitchen science experiments, using basic supplies you will have in your kitchen.

You can set up your science experiments as an activity focusing on exploration and discovery. Make sure to ask kids questions at each step, discuss what is happening and talk about the science behind it.

Alternatively, you can introduce the scientific method, get kids to record their observations, and make conclusions. Read more about the scientific method for kids to help you get started.

Now Charlie, along with four other lucky, if flawed, children will get a chance to see the wondrous and fantastical Wonka Chocolate Factory. What Charlie doesn't know though, is that Wonka is running a secret competition, and so the children must be on their absolute best behavior.

Remember the first time you read the book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? Or the first time you saw the movie Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory? Those were basically life-changing experiences for me. So when it was time to introduce our kids to Charlie Bucket, Willy Wonka, Veruca Salt, and all the others, I wanted to make it memorable for them too.

And that's why we put together this Charlie and the Chocolate Factory unit study! There are crafts, printables, and activities here that relate to both the story and the movie. If you love this one, don't miss our other homeschool unit studies, including our Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs unit!

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Unit Study
This post contains affiliate links. For details, see our Disclosure Policy.
We began by reading the book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl. We split the reading up into three chapters per school day and both Jay and I took turns reading it aloud. The kids were fascinated with it right from the beginning. Probably because of all the talk about candy. 🙂

Tigger looked up some of the unusual vocabulary words along the way and she completed a character map all about Charlie - what kind of personality he had, his family's living situation, and the way he looked. Charlie is probably one of the most sympathetic characters in all of children's literature. You really root for him through the whole book.

These free chocolate notebooking pages are a fun way to help kids keep track of their vocabulary words through the book! To get your copy, just click the image or the link below.

Once we finished the book, we did a Willy Wonka toilet paper roll craft using a circusmaster toilet roll craft from DLTK Crafts.

We just printed out three copies - one for each child.

Then we cut out the pieces and slowly began assembling them. I liked this project because there weren't a lot of pieces and the kids only had to glue a few of them together.

We also found out that liquid glue is much better for this than glue sticks. Just so you know.

Three Wonkas!

We decided to finish the unit by watching the original movie Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Of course, we couldn't enter the factory without finding a golden ticket in a Wonka bar.

The problem is that we couldn't find any Wonka bars for sale. (I remember seeing them when I was younger, but I guess they stopped making them.) Amazon.com to the rescue!

We bought a super cute Willy Wonka Chocolate Bar wrapper with a copy of the Golden Ticket and used a regular 4.3 ounce chocolate bar as the candy.

The golden ticket actually uses the exact wording from the story. Awww...

We wrapped the chocolate bar and placed the golden ticket inside. Then we opened it as a family and shared the chocolate. The kids don't eat a lot of candy, so that was a real treat for them.

Time to watch the movie! We rented it through Amazon Instant Video. Took about 30 seconds.

I literally get nostalgic whenever I see Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. I watched it along with my third grade class and it just instantly transports me back to my childhood when imagination was truly the most important thing I had.

We had so much fun with this Charlie and the Chocolate Factory unit study! Why not give it a try with your kids?
