Kids activity · Drawing and storytelling · Questions that open doors
Imagine a pocket-sized train in a place you invent. This is a make-believe paper activity; you can use drawings, spoken words, or writing.
Invent a friendly creature and write three questions you would ask it.
- Draw two friendly characters in the scene.
- Give them different questions in speech bubbles.
- 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.
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.
