The worksheet titled "Draw a Picture and Answer Prompts: A Creative Writing Exercise" starts with a prompt that describes a concept before asking students to draw a picture. For example, one says, "Some people say they are 'morning people,' while others say they are 'evening people.' Draw a picture of your favorite time of the day."

Below the picture is a series of three short writing prompts that ask students to explore the concept and describe their picture. In the example above, the three prompts are:

* In this picture, I am...

* This is my favorite time of the day because...

* I wish it could be this time of day all day because...

Each prompt only has one or two lines, encouraging students to write concise responses. Topics range from friendship to music, healthy eating, simple machines, and more so you can use them in a wide variety of subjects throughout the day.

Students find early writing exercises easier and more enjoyable when they have the ability to draw a picture. It helps support comprehension, boosts creativity, and encourages expression.

Giving students quick prompts is an easy way to engage their creative drawing and writing skills. Ask them to draw a picture and then ask them to explain their picture down below.

You can integrate this activity into nearly every subject when choosing prompts carefully. For instance, you could ask students to illustrate a basic machine they've studied in science. Then, they can write what the simple machine is, how it works, and what it's used for.
