Draw a Story

Tell this story to the children. Illustrate it a bit at a time on the chalkboard, as shown below. You may wish to simplify or expand on the story. Children love to hear this type of story over again. After the children are familiar with the story, provide them with chalkboards or paper and crayons and let them draw and tell the story.

Sea Thing Once there was a sea thing. Who lived in a dark cave, under a rock. All you could see were his two round eyes. He hid in there, afraid of the sea. One day two eels swam by. He shut his eyes. And sat very still. When all was quiet, He peeked out. He saw 24 bubbles floating up! Its a sea monster! he cried. He shrivelled further into his cave, Staring out Filled with fear. But only some seaweed slithered by. Catching the bubbles on their leaves. by D. Williams
