Read and Draw - Spring Activity

Read and Draw – Spring Activity is the perfect mash-up of literacy and creativity that brings springtime vibes right to your classroom. Here’s how it works: students read a simple spring-themed sentence like “The bunny hops through the flowers,” and then draw a picture that brings it to life. That’s it. No glitter explosions, no complicated instructions, just reading, imagining, and drawing.

This activity is designed with Foundation–Year 4 students in mind and helps build those early comprehension and visualisation skills in the most delightful way possible. Plus, it’s a quiet task, so you can finally enjoy a sip of your coffee before it goes cold. Again.

🌸 Ways to Use It:

• Morning work that doesn’t require micromanaging

• Centres or stations during your literacy block

• A creative cool-down after playtime

• Take-home fun for rainy afternoons

🌼 Why Teachers Love It:

• Strengthens reading comprehension without being boring

• Encourages creativity (and some really funny bunny drawings)

• No prep = more time for you

• Doubles as an informal assessment of sentence understanding.
