About this resource
Springtime Picnic Fun pairs a lined response to “Have you ever had a picnic in the spring?” with a page for drawing a springtime picnic. The three-page PDF includes a license page and two activity pages.
Use an oral discussion of people, food and setting to prepare for writing, then connect the response with a drawing. Students without a picnic experience can imagine one with teacher guidance. Use the pages for spring writing centres, a morning activity or a classroom display.

Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Students will respond in writing to a personal-experience question about spring picnics.
Students will illustrate their written response with a matching drawing of their own picnic.
Teaching tips
Pair this two-page prompt as a single sitting activity, having students write their answer first and then illustrate it on the second page so the drawing reinforces what they wrote.
Use this as a quick spring-themed morning warm-up or fast-finisher task, since the prompt is short and low-prep with just one question to answer.
Skills covered
Personal narrative response — students answer a yes/no experience question and elaborate on it in writing.
Illustration of written ideas — students translate their written response into a matching drawing.
