Just right for elementary students who are learning to write proper sentences and express their thoughts. They are the perfect avenue for those of you teaching Bible truths and writing.

How to Create a Complete lesson
Our Bible Draw & Write Sheets are ideal for elementary students. When combined with other resources, these writing sheets make a layered lesson of learning. Before tackling the Draw & Write activity sheet, discuss the Bible verse featured and discuss what it means. Read the writing prompt out loud and talk about what it means too. This is a great time to learn about your student. What are their thoughts? How do they relate to Jesus? What are their concerns or fears?
How to Use these Draw & Write Sheets
Our Draw & Write Sheets offer students space to draw images along with room for them to practice writing.
In the draw section, encourage your student to draw something that answers the writing prompt.
In the writing section, ask your student to write about their picture. Encourage them to explain what it is they drew into sentences. This is an appropriate time to reiterate the meaning of the verse and how they can portray that in their drawing and writing.
Remind your students to use capital letters and punctuation. The premise of the Draw & Write sheets is for students to recall learned information so they can then write about it. This encourages comprehension and retention.
When the kids are in elementary school (usually 1st or 2nd grade), we use these to create a Bible journal. We always save these as a keepsake. Years later, they love to look back at their drawings and read what they wrote when they were young. It is also a testimony to them of how God was working in their heart even then.
Additional Thoughts...
Sometimes a child is hesitant to write. I have found that most of the time when my student is apprehensive about a subject, he doesn’t feel confident in the task at hand. That may not always be true, but when it is, I find it important to make them feel at ease with loads of encouragement and examples. Encourage your new writer to try all different types of writing. One time I actually put a monster truck toy on the table and asked my son to write about it. What does it look like? What can it do? Who gave it to you?
