With these easy-prep file folder centers, students will work in small groups to read and discuss concepts in an engaging way. Students will find colorful images, kid-friendly text, and hands-on activities with each file folder center!

Simply print out each folder's content, glue inside a file folder and provide the corresponding response activities related to each major battle and event topic. Students can rotate through each center and learn along the way!

Teacher Directions for assembling each folder is provided for easy set-up!

In each folder students will work in small groups to:

• Learn the who, what, where, why, and why of each event

• Explore a map of where the event took place

• Use picture cards and prompts to discuss the event with their group

• Complete an extension activity

• Create a timeline of all events

Students will learn about the following events

• Battles at Lexington and Concord

• The Second Continental

• Capture of Fort Ticonderoga

• The Battle of Bunker Hill

• The Declaration of Independence

• Crossing the Delaware & Battle of Trenton

• Battles of Saratoga

• The Battle of Yorktown

Your students will love being able to move around the room, explore new information, and share their learning with each other. They will be practicing communication and collaboration skills as they engage in discussions about their discoveries of the American Revolution.

Save time with your lesson planning, especially if your district doesn’t have a social studies curriculum or if you need to supplement your current program.  These fun folders include all your students need for small group centers. You can laminate them and reuse them year after year!
