About This Book

Written by: Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah with Kelly DiPucchio
Illustrated by: Tricia Tusa

Lily and Salma are best friends. They like doing all the same things, and they always eat lunch together. Lily eats peanut butter and Salma eats hummus – but what’s that between friends? It turns out, a lot. Before they know it, a food fight breaks out. Can Lily and Salma put aside their differences? Or will a sandwich come between them?

 

If your students are allowing their differences to get in the way of making new friends, this is a must-read for your classroom!

The Sandwich Swap Activities

Like many of my book companions, this one has a large focus on comprehension and vocabulary. These 12 cards will help guide your discussion of the story.

If you’re working on story elements, be sure to use this spinner activity.

After reading The Sandwich Swap, students can review story elements with this sandwich-themed spinner.

 

To help with sequencing, I created this Sequence Sandwich activity. Students will put six events from the story into the order they happened. These cards can then be tucked and stapled inside of the sandwich bread to create a sequence sandwich.

After reading The Sandwich Swap, students can complete this sequencing activity. Students will put six events from the story into order and place them inside this Sequence Sandwich.

 

Throughout the book, students will be exposed to new or unfamiliar terms. I have selected 12 words to focus on for this story. Each vocabulary card also has a matching definition. These can be used in a pocket chart display or students can play a memory matching game for further practice.

I have included 12 vocabulary cards and definitions to use with The Sandwich Swap. These can be put on display while reading, or used in a matching game.

 

I have also added these graphic organizers and a vocabulary matching page to use with the story.

There are several graphic organizers included to summarize or retell The Sandwich Swap. Students can also put their vocabulary knowledge to work with this matching activity.

 

 

The Sandwich Swap Craft & Writing Booklet

Sticking with the sandwich theme, I have created a sandwich craft. Students can respond to the text in a variety of ways on each of the sandwich fixing templates. I have included a handful of writing ideas for your students, but you can always choose your own.

After reading The Sandwich Swap, students can create this sandwich craft booklet. I have included several ideas for writing prompts, but you can also choose your own.

 

Once all of the writing is complete, all of the pages can be stapled together into a sandwich booklet.
