Kids activity · Drawing and storytelling · The table as a notebook

Imagine a sleepy dragon 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.

  1. Add a helper with an unusual but kind skill.
  2. Show one small problem the helper can understand.
  3. Draw how the characters solve it together.

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.
