1st Grade Creative Writing Projects (by date, oldest first)

This special person writing activity and craft allows students to create a meaningful gift for Mother's Day, Father's Day or Grandparent's Day. This simple craft and writing project is sure to delight the special person in the child's life.

How to Make:

To create the writing aspect of this activity, students will use the brainstorming ideas page to write down reasons they love their special person or when they do something the child loves. The student then gets to choose some of their best ideas to write on their heart craft. After writing their sentences, students can decorate their parent gift any way they choose. Students may choose to cut out their craft and glue it to some colored construction paper or card stock.

This packet includes several variations for different things a child may call their special person. There is also a blank craft for the student to write their special name.

The following are included in this packet:

• mom
• mum
• mommy
• mother
• dad
• father
• daddy
• grandma
• grandmother
• grandpa
• grandfather

This craft and writing activity are very easy to set up. Students simply need their craft template, a brainstorming ideas page, a writing utensil for the writing section, and crayons, markers, or colored pencils to decorate their craft. Scissors and glue are only needed if the child wishes to mount their craft to colored card stock or construction paper.

Moms truly ROCK! This rocking craft is perfect for Mother's and Father's day and includes seven different options: Mom, Mum, Aunt, Grandma, Dad, Uncle, and Grandpa. Includes two different writing templates! Perfect gift for Mother's Day!

This is a great activity for a Christian School, homeschool or even for a Sunday School teacher. This storyboard is an activity that reinforces comprehension and introduces basic story elements. I use a file folder but large manila or construction paper can also be used. Students write about the setting, characters, beginning, middle and ending. Then they write a summary. There is artwork also included to illustrate the storyboard.

My students LOVE creating storyboards and they are a wonderful introduction to basic story elements and summarizing. I use colorful file folders or large manila/construction paper. There are illustrations to color and places to list the characters, setting and summary. There are also interactive flaps for writing the beginning, middle and ending.
