Listen, draw, describe and get creative!
Who knew that drawing could be such a brilliant way to encourage creative writing?
This playful printable activity is designed to help children aged 7–11 develop their descriptive vocabulary, explore exciting writing techniques and grow in confidence as writers.
The game begins with a little mystery! Children listen carefully as an adult or partner reads out a series of drawing instructions. Using only the words they hear, they create their own picture before revealing the original illustration.
Will their drawings look the same? Probably not! And that's where the fun begins.
Once they've finished drawing, it's time to become a descriptive writing expert!
Using the adjective word bank, creative writing toolkits and five writing challenges, children can explore how to bring their pictures to life through words.
What's included?
This 13-page digital download includes:
6 mystery pictures and descriptions to read aloud and recreate.
6 printable writing activity sheets with space for drawing and completing five descriptive writing challenges.
A completed example sheet to help children understand each challenge.

Creative Writing Toolkit exploring adjectives, expanded noun phrases, similes, metaphors, personification and alliteration.
