Four Fun Descriptive and Creative Writing Games

 This  writing bundle  regroups 4  games  to practice descriptive writing with children who  like to write AND those who hate it.  The goal is for  all the children of a literacy center, a classroom or of a family in a homeschool setting  to participate  in a description of something that each student imagine a part of . At the end they  discover how  is the object, animal , place or  person that got described. Perfect  activity   for differentiating or multi-level classes.   This game stimulates creativity and imagination . It is also  very engaging as it  has a big part of mystery  as the children can’t wait to discover what their peers will imagine and write so they can unveil the final product .

Very little prep , and easy to play.  For second grade up  to 5th grade or even 6th grade.

The First game totally for free!

In this bundle you will find four different describing activities:

  1. Describing an imaginary animal
  2. Describing a mystery place
  3. Describing a funny character
  4. Describing a genius invention

How to play :

  • Print the cards and cut them out. Print as many copies of  the other pages  as needed for your students.
  •  Distribute the cards to the children. If you play with a large group of kids they will pick only one or 2 each.  In a small group, for a literacy center or in a homeschool situation, the kids will have quite a few cards and more sentences to write.  You can give less cards to younger or less advance children. 
  • Kids get as much stripes of paper as they have of cards , on them they will  write a description as the cards instruct, without telling the other children what kind of  place, animal , person or invention they are thinking about.
  • When  everyone is done the teacher  picks up all the descriptions and put them back in order.  All the  different ideas of the kids are compiled to make up a  full description of the mystery place person ,object  or animal !
  • Write the full description on the back board correcting mistakes if needed. Have fun reading it aloud! Then kids can copy it on their work sheet and  make an illustration.
