Draw a story: beginning and end

Draw two pictures that show the beginning and the end of a simple story, in the correct order.

A story has a beginning and an end. Today you will draw two pictures: one for how the story starts, one for how it finishes.

Think of a simple story, even a true one from your own day, like planting a seed and watching it grow.

📋 For the teacher

Teach it (10–15 min):

Offer a couple of simple story ideas if your child is unsure: a seed growing, an egg hatching, getting dressed for the day.
Ask what happened first, and what happened at the very end, to separate the two moments clearly.
Let your child narrate the story out loud using their pictures as a guide.
This is early storytelling and sequencing, a skill that connects straight to reading and writing later.

Talk about it:

Mastery looks like: They draw two pictures that clearly show a beginning and an end, in the correct order, and narrate the story.

Common stumbles: Drawing the same scene twice instead of showing something changing from start to finish.
