Back to School Writing Activity: Rocket Craft Blast Off

Kickstart the beginning of the school year with an exciting and enjoyable back-to-school writing activity! Our "Blasting Off IN" writing activity is guaranteed to make the start of the year a blast for your students.

Students will be making a rocket shape book. There is a graphic organizer where students will fill out information about what they're looking forward to, what they're excited about, and what makes them nervous. You can use this, or you can have students write about something you already have.

Students can color the rocket. You could have them add the words, "___ Grade Will Be A Blast! The second page is a rocket with lines for students to write.

After students cut and color, you'll staple the two rocket pages together to make a book. (I would staple just at the top). These would look really cute on a back to school bulletin board, or out in the hallway for people to see what your students have created.

Having fun and engaging back to school activities will help those first few hectic weeks go smoothly. I have several other back to school activities in my store. Take a look!

You will get a pdf with 3 pages: the graphic organizer, and the two rocket pages.
