This page has a "Mayflower Compact" activity and a "What Happened Next?" activity.  Each one opens to reveal more flaps and information the kids wrote inside of them.  They are just pasted to colored cardstock rather than to a file folder for making a lapbook.

These are more of the activities from the lapbook we incorporated into our Thanksgiving Notebooks.  The picture below shows a couple of the activities opened up once.

A couple of these activities are opened so that you can see what is inside.  If you were to open the one in the bottom right corner again you would see where my daughter wrote information about each of the ships the Pilgrims used.  Each of these mini books open to reveal flaps and/or information that the kids wrote inside.  This is a wonderful tool for re-inforcing what they are learning from web-site articles and books we read.

All of my kids, ages 7 to 11, enjoyed the lapbook activities very much.  This was our first attempt at lapbooking.  This is not traditionally how most people lapbook, but since we were already making a Thanksgiving notebook to keep our information from our study organized I thought it would be better to incorporate the lapbooking activities into the notebook so that everything was in one place.  We may some day do a traditional lapbook, but I think I like combining notebooking and lapbooking.
