Product description
From the author
Rainy days: some see gloom, others see puddle-jumping, worm-spotting, and soggy sock adventures. A Rainy Day Adventure is a fun and creative spring writing prompt that turns gray skies into bright ideas! This resource includes two parts, a writing section where students craft their own rainy day tale, and a drawing section to bring it all to life (umbrellas, rubber boots, and heroic raincoats encouraged).
In the writing portion, students dive into a drizzly day of their own imagining. Maybe they get swept into a magical storm, find a talking frog with a weather app, or become puddle pirates on the playground. Whatever the plot, creativity pours down like rain. In the drawing section, they illustrate their scene, raindrops, rainbows, or whatever their soggy hearts desire.

Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Generate an original written response to an open-ended personal narrative prompt.
Illustrate a written idea with a drawing that reflects the same imagined scenario.
Teaching tips
Have students complete the writing page first, then move to the drawing page so their illustration reflects the adventure they already described.
Use the two pages as quick warm-up or sub-plan material, since each page needs nothing beyond something to write and draw with.
Open with a short class discussion about real rainy-day experiences before writing to help reluctant writers get started.
Skills covered
Personal narrative writing -- students respond in their own words to an open-ended 'what would you do' prompt.
Visual storytelling -- students translate their written idea into an illustrated scene on the companion page.
Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource
How do the two activity pages connect?
One asks what students would do on a rainy spring day; the other asks them to draw their rainy-day adventure. Both responses can describe the same imagined event.
