Arbor Day Writing Prompt Activity

Looking for a tree-mendously fun way to celebrate Arbor Day with your K–2 students?

This Arbor Day Writing Prompt is just what you need! It includes two engaging parts: a writing activity and a drawing task, because sometimes our youngest writers need to express their big thoughts and show them with adorable stick figures (or squirrels with sunglasses, no judgment here).

Students will write about how they can help the Earth or take care of trees, and then draw a matching picture. It’s perfect for building early writing confidence and encouraging creativity, plus it makes a cute display that screams, “We love trees!”

Ways to Use:
🌳 Whole-group writing time
🌳 Literacy centers or morning work
🌳 Early finisher activity
🌳 Arbor Day or Earth Day mini-lesson

Why It’s Awesome:
✅ No prep, print and go
✅ Builds writing and fine motor skills
✅ Encourages environmental responsibility in age-appropriate ways
✅ Combines writing and drawing for double the engagement
✅ Makes a sweet keepsake or hallway display

Pdf file includes 2 pages.

Enjoy!
