Ideas to inspire…. ‘Draw’ a picture to retell a story or event using any simple paint tool
‘That reminds me…’ strategy – students retell a personal experience through
drawing inspired by a picture book story
Create a rebus story using the ‘stamps’ tool in TuxPaint
Use two laptops to play ‘barrier’ games – one student draws and describes what
they are doing, while the other follows the oral directions. When completed,
students compare images for likeness
Trace the student’s hand, scan in the tracing then have the student decorate using
a digital art program such as TuxPaint or KidPix
Co-create artwork on an Interactive Whiteboard
Experiment with patterning using stamp tools or different brush tools
Design a character for a story using Build Your Wild Self
Practise ‘click and drag’ mouse skills while creating an image
Create patterned paper which when printed out can be used as wrapping paper
for small items
Create a template for TuxPaint of a number line, hundred board etc then use the
stamp tools to interact with the template on an Interactive Whiteboard
Design a story map
Tell number stories using stamp tools
Explore 2-D shapes and experiment with flipping, sliding and turning of shapes as
well as symmetry and mirror images
Buddy young students with older ‘mentors’ to create digital story books
