About This Product
Hard hats on and imaginations up! This If I Were a Construction Worker writing prompt is perfect for your K–2 crew who love to build, dig, and dream big. With a writing section to spark those storytelling gears and a drawing portion to bring their ideas to life, this activity is a fun and engaging way to celebrate community helpers, while sneaking in literacy practice (shhh… don’t tell the kids).
Students will write about the kinds of things they would build (treehouses, skyscrapers, or chocolate factories?), what tools they would use, and how they’d help their community. Then they’ll draw their construction masterpiece, expect cranes, bulldozers, and maybe even a glitter-covered hammer.
Ways to Use:
Perfect for community helper units, Career Day, or themed writing centers.
Ideal for early finishers, morning work, or substitute plans.
Can be used as part of an “All About Jobs” bulletin board display.
Advantages:
Encourages creative writing with a real-world connection.
Supports fine motor skills with the drawing component.
Great for vocabulary development, hello, jackhammer!
No prep, print and pass it out faster than you can say “blueprints.”
