Kids activity · Drawing and storytelling · Small beginnings
Imagine a tiny boat in a place you invent. This is a make-believe paper activity; you can use drawings, spoken words, or writing.
Draw the first mark of an imaginary journey, then show what comes next.
- Divide the page into three roomy boxes.
- Show a beginning, a small surprise, and an ending.
- Let one shape appear in all three pictures.
Use ordinary paper and a pencil or another familiar drawing tool. Stay where you are comfortable. You do not need to go outside, collect objects, send a message, or share personal details.
Try a question
What did your character notice that it had not noticed at the beginning?
Younger readers can ask a trusted grown-up to read the instructions with them. There is no score and no need for your picture to look like anyone else’s.
