School Coloring Pages by Teach Simple

About this resource

What's inside this resource

Twenty-four black-and-white line drawings of school objects and people -- a school bus, bell, teacher, student, desk, backpack, chalkboard, globe, textbooks, notebook, pencil and eraser, pencil sharpener, inkpens, markers, crayons, scissors, glue, ruler, abacus, clipboard, alphabet blocks, lunch box, and apple -- are provided one per page for students to color in. One page pairs the coloring activity with word-family practice, showing 'cat, hat, bat, sat' beside a spelling-themed illustration. Each page is labelled with the name of the pictured object, giving beginning readers a simple word-to-picture match alongside the coloring task. The set functions as a school-themed coloring book rather than a worksheet with instructions, tasks, or an answer key.
