Read and Draw - Spring Activity

Read and Draw – Spring Activity is the perfect mash-up of literacy and creativity that brings springtime vibes right to your classroom. Here’s how it works: students read a simple spring-themed sentence like “The bunny hops through the flowers,” and then draw a picture that brings it to life. That’s it. No glitter explosions, no complicated instructions, just reading, imagining, and drawing.

This activity is designed with Years 1–5 students in mind and helps build those early comprehension and visualisation skills in the most delightful way possible. Plus, it’s a quiet task, so you can finally enjoy a sip of your coffee before it goes cold. Again.

🌸 Ways to Use It:

• Morning work that doesn’t require micromanaging

• Centres or stations during your literacy block

• A creative cool-down after playtime

• Take-home fun for rainy afternoons

🌼 Why Teachers Love It:

• Strengthens reading comprehension without being boring

• Encourages creativity (and some really funny bunny drawings)

• No prep = more time for you

• Doubles as an informal assessment of sentence understanding.
