Sand Bucket Art Game
Need no prep, end of the year activities for art? Imagine these sand bucket art projects in your hallway with a summer bucket list or bucket filler writing prompt. The step by step drawing tutorial and PowerPoint also makes perfect emergency art sub plans for elementary art and general ed teachers.
A fun roll a dice game, ‘you pick’ worksheet, and digital spinners helps kids choose patterns. Moreover, boost their confidence and creativity.
And, it’ll help cash-strapped teachers like you plan end of year activities using only markers. Yes, you can watercolor paint with markers! This end of the year art project includes a beach bucket template for easy drawing.
Can I tell you a secret? It’s hard to get kids writing in ELA. When they’re not invested in it, they can’t connect with what they’re writing about. Mic drop!
Incorporating creative art lessons like this sand bucket project helps. Finally keep all kids engaged!
