Read and Draw - End of Year Activity

Looking for a fun, no-prep way to keep your K–2nd graders learning (and not climbing the walls) at the end of the school year?

This End of Year Read and Draw Activity is just what tired teachers and energetic students need! It’s the perfect mix of reading comprehension and artistic expression, like sneaking veggies into a cupcake.

Students will read short, engaging sentences or paragraphs about summer, school memories, or future plans, then use their imaginations to draw what they read. It’s like a mini brain workout with crayons.

• Last week of school fun that’s still educational

• Easy sub plans when your brain has checked out

Advantages:
