Make Your Clip Cards - Step by Step
You can make clip cards ahead of time so they are ready to go… Click file, print, cut out... Fold in half... Place your document inside the laminating pouch. If the document is smaller than the pouch and I haven't got any idea, or time to make something needed in my classroom I usually laminate some sheets of colored paper. I use these laminated papers in many different ways, as bookmarks for example. But you can also write on them with a permanent marker and use them as labels for storage containers, folders etc. My favorite is DIY Write and Wipe Worksheets - You can write on them with dry erase markers and clean them with a paper towel when you are done. The only thing is that it's easy to smear the marker if you touch it, as it never seems to dry on the lamination. And voila! You have a great game.
