Hot Air Balloon Art Game
Need no prep, engaging summer art activities? Imagine these hot air balloon art projects in your hallway with a summer 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 summer art projects using only markers. Yes, you can watercolor paint with markers! This hot air balloon project includes a balloon 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 hot air balloon activity helps. Finally keep all kids engaged!

We traced ballon templates on to watercolour paper, created our own patterns, then used watercolour pencils to decorate. We hung a basket envelope on the bottom and over the course of a week reflected on our year, writing notes about this year and the next (end of year activity). I printed pre-made patterns for students struggling to make their own and they used markers. Very straightforward to use.
