This is a super cute display for Vocabulary Ninjas. I personally like to use hessian and matte laminating pouches, but this will work on a variety of backings. There are over 20 individual parts, including the heading. This display would also work for most times table tracking displays. I’ve also added a display plan of how I envisage it to be hung, but you can experiment with what works best for your display boards! I would recommend you printing a few copies of page 6 - I think I went with 6 in the end. I then laminated these with a gloss pouch, so I could use a whiteboard pen to write, remove and rewrite vocabulary onto them. Enjoy!
