What are lapbooks?
Lapbooks are useful learning tools, which students can consult to review and consolidate learning.  They can be enriched as learning proceeds and customized as you see fit.

  • a 10-chapter story with activities, curiosities, and instructions

Geoforce Special Agents

Create and learn with lapbooks


Geoforce special agents” is a series through which primary school children can easily create fun and colourful lapbooks, that are creative folders in which information on a topic can be collected.

To do this, children will have to complete a special mission (like: finding a treasure in ancient Egypt, scaring a ghost away from an ancient castle, helping Etna’s operations centre). Only at the end of the mission will the children have created their own lapbook (about Egypt, medieval castles,volcanos...).

Centre page with stickers to be used for decorating the lapbook and completing some activities from the book

2 coloured pieces of card to be used as the base of the lapbook

A story about the adventures of the Geoforce special agents with games and instructions for creating the lapbook

A double page with extra materials for enriching the contents of the lapbook

A pocket at the back of the book where the pages and cuttings can be stored during the construction phase of the lapbook

At the end of the adventure, the lapbook will look like this!
