Civil War Lap Book



Download Now


We have covered the studying of the Civil War some time ago. 
It is time we went back and review a few things. 
As my son gets older we add more new info about each historical event.

Why Lap Books?


What better way than a lap book to store all of the new things we learned?
Lap Books are very handy and store a whole unit in just a few card stocks and 1 manila folder.
It is another way to get your kids hands on to review what they have read.
They have to narrow the important facts of their reading to complete the lap book. 
It is like reading and highlighting things to remember. This helps them with memorization.
