End-of-the-Year Memory Book {Free Printables!}

Hello there! I’m writing a blog post to give you a FREE End-of-the-Year Memory Book.

I am always thinking about what I can give my students to commemorate our year together. Some of my students’ first schooling experience is in kindergarten so I always want to provide them with something that reflects their experiences and individuality. So, memory book it is!

What is a Memory Book?

A memory book is an opinion book that contains remembrances of key experiences. Memory books are easy to make, to maintain, and are a perfect memento. You can look back at it when you are older as it reveals a bit about yourself!

Making a Memory Book

To make a memory book, you just need blank paper, a pencil, and crayons. That’s it!

First, we pick a topic. It could be “My Favorite Lunch” or “My Favorite Field Trip.” Then, I have my students brainstorm a list of ideas surrounding that topic. This is a very important step, as some students may forget some activities or events we participated in during the year that they would want to write about in their book. I record what they say and post it so they can see it. Last, I send them back to their seats to write and draw. We do a page a day until we have a book full of memories (it’s usually between 5 – 8 pages).
