This week I gave the children a piece of paper, markers, crayons, color pencils and free time to simply express themselves. With simple instructions; write your name in a creative way and draw things around your name that express you. It was beautiful to walk around the room and watch the children write their names and draw pictures of things that describe them or that they like. Some drew mountains and trees, flowers, feathers, suns and sports like; footballs, baseballs, soccer; also phrases like; love, happy, kind, etc. Afterword the children loved looking at each others papers and complementing them and agreeing to what they wrote. Some even said their friends were the best and that they loved doing this activity.
What are some activities you could do in your classroom to help your children express themselves?
