Kids activity · Drawing and storytelling · The honest caption

Imagine a clockwork bird in a place you invent. This is a make-believe paper activity; you can use drawings, spoken words, or writing.

Draw the same object twice and give each picture a different imaginary caption.

  1. Draw two friendly characters in the scene.
  2. Give them different questions in speech bubbles.
  3. Let both characters have a chance to answer.

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.

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.
