At the end of the school year when I passed back students work I included this "How Not be Bored this Summer" handout. I had several students excited for this new challenge and I can't wait for the results this fall. I told them that these are drawing prompts just like they may have seen writing prompts in class this year. But we all know drawing is a lot more fun that writing =) . I made sure that drawing challenges only required a pencil and paper since many students may not have access to other drawing supplies. However, add other supplies to keep them busy longer!
Here is the list or if you would like the printable version click here!

Great ideas!! I've got two 3-year-olds at home. I actually went to Walmart the other day and bought a bag of $1 practice golf balls (the ones with the holes) and a .50 bag of pipe cleaners and had my twins practice lacing the pipe cleaners through the balls. They had an absolute blast!
ReplyDeletePipe cleaners are awesome! When they hit 4 and with supervision give them pony beads to string onto pipe cleaners. You can make these into ornaments (think pumpkins, candy canes, hearts, shamrocks).
