Haiku Tunnel Books

Tunnel books are fun and unique!  We made ours using a postcard for a prompt and wrote a haiku to go with it.  I’ve made these with grade 4 and up, but younger students could enjoy this activity in “centers”, with the help of parent volunteers, or by having the various parts prepped for them ahead of time.
There are lots of different directions you could take this project.  We added a pocket on the back for holding a written story that we added later.  See a few of our student examples below!For a convenient step-by-step pdf of this lesson, visit my TPT Store

  1. These are GREAT – thanks for sharing…I could see this as a collaboration between art teachers and classroom teachers.

  2. These are fantastic! They look like alot of work, but agree with Nancie Kay that this is a great cross curricular activity.

  3. I love making tunnel books- I've used Shel Silverstein's, “What's in the Sack?” poem as a starting off point, making a tunnel book as to “what's in a sack…”, and I have a couple of tunnel books, “Dancing Skeletons” and “La Grande Jatte” that make great references!

  4. I am sharing this idea on my blog (giving you credit)as an activity to go along with a book. The Title of the book and author will be on the front, then characters,plot and setting will be displayed on each “page”. I'll be sharing this idea on air too. Email me if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks for your great ideas!

  5. My daughter saw this and wanted to create her own tunnel book IMMEDIATELY! What a great post. Thanks for sharing it! Katja

  6. It's done ! And really not difficult even for my six year old daughter. Tomorow, she wants do “at least three” other tunnel books… A new passion is born !

  7. Since I don’t have any postcards, I found some nature pics online to photo print at Walmart. Since I have 75 students, $.09 per 4×6 print isn’t too bad! :)
