Breakfast / Frühstück: Accordion Fold for English Class

The Accordion Fold is a craft accordion book in which children cut out English breakfast words such as croissant, porridge or orange juice with pictures, glue them together and fold it like an accordion. When unfolded, it shows all the vocabulary words at a glance, and when folded up, it is so small that the children can take it anywhere.

What is included in the material

• Accordion book version 1 with 23 English breakfast words and the matching pictures
• Accordion book version 2 with the same pictures and blanks for the children to write in the English words
• Mini versions 1 and 2 as smaller accordion books with the same words, once labeled and once with blanks
• Craft instructions for cutting out, gluing and folding

Tips for using the material

The accordion book can be used individually or in pairs, for example by having the children quiz each other and go through the words together.
