This was a cute moon phases booklet that a teacher shared with me. She made it at a training and we were looking for the easiest way it could be done with her 80 fourth grade students (once we work it out I will post!).
This was fun activity that I got from Roper Mountain Science Institute. They suggested red theater gel to reveal the message, which can get pricy. Another idea I heard was to ask movie theaters to donate left over 3D glasses, which also have a red filter. A guest speaker we had last year said red jello would work. Tried it this week and it worked like a charm. The students thought it was very cool. I found my "attention challenged" students had trouble focusing on making their own secret messages so I was very glad that I had made extra copies of the sheets from the GEMS Color Analyzer book that they could color and then check under the jello.

I think what I am going to do, is trace my book onto tag board for a pattern. I am going to make a pattern for each table (so about 5 patterns for 20 students). I am then going to have each student trace each page onto a big piece of black paper (if the patterns don't fit, the students will have more paper. After everyone is done tracing and cutting, we will put them together as a whole class. Then the students can glue the words in separately. This is the only way that I have come up with mass producing it.
