The If I Were a Police Officer writing and drawing activity invites K–2 students to put on their pretend badges and imagine a day in the life of a community helper with some serious superhero vibes. Students will write about what kind of police officer they’d be, traffic cop, detective, bicycle patrol, or maybe even K9 handler (because who doesn’t want a police puppy?). They’ll describe how they’d help others, keep the community safe, and what tools they’d use on the job. Then comes the artistic twist: they’ll draw themselves in action! Expect sunglasses, tall hats, and maybe a few flying donuts. Ways to Use: Pair with a community helpers unit or a classroom visitor from local law enforcement. Great for writing centers, morning work, or fast-finishers. Use during Career Week for a creative twist on job exploration. Makes an excellent hallway or bulletin board display! Advantages: Encourages creative thinking and real-world connections. Builds confidence in early writing and sentence construction. Strengthens fine motor skills through drawing. Zero prep, just print and let the creativity roll! Pdf file includes 2 pages. Enjoy!

Imagine if animals could talk, what would they say about how we treat the Earth? (Spoiler: The turtles probably have opinions about plastic straws.) If Animals Could Talk on Earth Day is a two-part writing and drawing prompt that gives students the chance to speak up for our furry, feathery, and finned friends through storytelling and creativity. In the writing portion, students pick an animal and write from its perspective. Maybe a polar bear wants to talk about melting ice caps, or a forest squirrel is annoyed about all the litter. Students get to think critically, write creatively, and have fun imagining their animal’s unique voice. In the drawing section, they bring their Earth-loving creature to life, sunglasses, protest signs, or capes are all welcome. Ways to Use It: Earth Day writing center Creative writing warm-up Science + ELA cross-curricular activity Earth Day bulletin board Why Teachers Love It: Encourages empathy and environmental awareness Boosts writing and artistic skills No prep, just print and go Works for a wide range of elementary grade levels A hilarious (and heartfelt) way to connect kids with nature Because sometimes the best way to learn is to hear it straight from the (talking) horse’s mouth. 🐢🗣️🌍 Pdf file includes pages.
