Children will write or tell a story about their favorite resulting image or series of images. Children paint their own abstract shapes in red or blue on four separate pieces of paper. Allow the paintings to dry overnight. Shuffle the papers and pass four out to each child. Children imagine what the abstract shapes suggest, then draw black lines to detail the images, making their interpretation more obvious.
Children invent a story about one of the pictures or a series of pictures.
Depending upon their abilities, children write or dictate their stories. Children read or tell their stories to the whole class. Send us your class projects - We want to see what your class is doing. Periodically we will add examples of children's projects to the HaringKids site. Send us lesson plans - If you have an idea for a lesson plan based on the content of the HaringKids site, send it to us for consideration.
