How to create a Learning Vending Machine!

Today I am presenting how to make a Learning Vending Machine! A fun and engaging resource, that can be used for any grades and subjects! Kids love to make the vending machines themselves and create cards to go with them! A really great way to engage those tactile learners in your classroom :) 

I have used this resource with my ESL learners, Math and Language in Y1 - Y6 and it`s always a hit! Student created vending cards are laminated and they can swoop cards and try out each others. This way we`ll have lots of practice and I save a whole lot of time:)! I always keep the student created cards for next year as well. For the youngest learners I have made some vending machines in A3 (double) size and bigger cards, to make it easier for those small hands :)

Step 1: Use two colored papers and create two templates

Step 2: Cut out the corner squares on both templates

Step 3: Fold on the lines

Step 4: On one of the templates cut out two holes

Step 5: Connect the two templates by gluing the sides and bottom together

Do not glue the top!

Step 6: Cut out the slide

Step 7: Put the slide inside the box and let it stick out of the bottom hole. 

Glue the top of the slide to the back inside the box

Step 8: Glue the top of the box together

Step 9: Decorate your vending machine!

Step 10: Make practice cards for any subject or theme :)
