Cootie Catchers English Language Learners is an interactive and motivating tool for daily review of

common vocabulary and language skills that support English language profi ciency. Using a new twist

on the popular origami fortune tellers, this hands-on resource provides a fun and unique approach to

support English language learners with their academic and social communication skills within the context

of content area themes. Cootie Catchers English Language Learners features 20 reproducible cootie

catchers that each reinforce vocabulary and language concepts crucial to the development of English

language profi ciency. Each page includes a Before You Flip hint for students to apply while they use each

cootie catcher and an After You Flip activity to extend their learning after they have fi nished. Additionally,

visual cues are provided to help ELL students connect meaning to words and transfer their patterns of

communication from their home language into English. Once the cootie catcher is made, students read

and answer the questions; then they lift the fl aps to reveal the correct answers. A recording sheet is

provided to help teachers keep track of assigned cootie catchers.

Aligned to the World-Class Instructional Design and Assessment (WIDA) English Language Profi ciency

Standards, Cootie Catchers English Language Learners is an ideal resource for providing opportunities to

practice communicating in the four English language profi ciency domains: listening, speaking, reading,

and writing. Research shows that repetition is essential for the brain to learn and recall information.

Furthermore, children tend to repeat activities they enjoy. Cootie Catchers English Language Learners

offers a fun way for students to repeat and retain essential information, and further develop their English

language profi ciency. This teacher-tested, student-approved resource can be used for classroom center

activities, as enrichment assignments when regular class work is completed, or for homework. Perfect for

individuals, partners, or small groups, Cootie Catchers English Language Learners makes learning English

more enjoyable. The following areas are addressed in this resource:

Cootie catchers fi t in pants pockets, backpacks, or lunch boxes for review on the go! Students can use

them in a classroom center, at their desks, on the playground, or in a car or bus. Parents can slip cootie

catchers into a pocket or purse and use them to review with their child at home, in line at the store, or

while waiting for appointments. With these easy-to-make, fun-to-use, portable manipulatives, students

will love developing their English language skills the Cootie Catchers English Language Learners way!

How to Use

1. Select a theme you would like your students to review, and make multiple copies of the corresponding page. Store the pages in a labeled hanging fi le in a learning center.

2. Demonstrate how to fold the cootie catchers. Display the instructions for students’ reference.

3. Remind students to read the Before You Flip section before using each cootie catcher.

4. Have students complete the After You Flip activity as an extension or quick assessment after they have used each cootie catcher. Ask students to return the top portion of the page to you. Use this, along with the recording sheet, to keep track of assigned cootie catchers.

5. Send the cootie catchers home for additional practice.

How to Make

How to Play

1. Choose a number from one to fi ve.

2. Open and close the cootie catcher (front to back and then sideways) as many times as the number selected.

3. Choose one of the four questions shown inside and answer it.

4. Lift the fl ap on which the question is written and check the answer.

5. Continue playing in the same way until all eight questions have been answered.

1. Carefully cut along the outline of the square. Fold and unfold the square in half diagonally in both directions to make two creases that form an X.

5. Slide both index fi ngers and thumbs under the four fl aps.

4. Fold the square in half, making a rectangle. Unfold and fold in half in the opposite direction, making a rectangle.

6. Use your thumbs and index fi ngers to pinch the top corners together and form a point. You are ready to play.

3. Turn the paper over so the fl aps are facedown. Again, fold each of the four corners in so their points touch the center.

2. Place the paper facedown, and then fold each of the four corners in so that their points touch the center.
