Are you teaching persuasive writing or opinion writing in the early years and looking for a wide range of engaging, fun activities for teaching persuasive writing?
2 x crafts are included for the mentor text: The Day The Crayons Quit
- Crayon craftivity- print crayon template on coloured paper. Print the ‘I like you because…’ templates on white paper. Students draw or list the reasons that they like that colour, then glue onto the crayon template. Alternatively, they can write straight onto the crayon template and colour in.
- Crayon card craft– fold in half and add googly eyes and black strips to resemble a crayon. On the inside, write a letter to the crayon to tell them why you like them.
