Kids activity · Drawing and storytelling · The table as a notebook
Imagine a friendly sea creature in a place you invent. This is a make-believe paper activity; you can use drawings, spoken words, or writing.
Draw a pretend café menu using made-up foods; this is a drawing game, not a recipe.
- Draw a map of this made-up place.
- Mark a starting point and a safe way back.
- Use shapes to show what matters to your character.
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.
