Red Ribbon Week Art Game
Need Red Ribbon Week activities for display on your elementary bulletin board? Imagine these red ribbon art projects in your hallway with a writing prompt. Help your elementary art students take a stand against alcohol and tobacco. And, live a healthy lifestyle.
The step by step drawing guide, PowerPoint and demonstration video make perfect no prep, art sub plans for elementary art for 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders.
That’s right. Sit back while I teach your students how to play the roll a dice game and design the red ribbon myself! Kids can also choose patterns using the ‘you pick’ worksheet or digital spinners—whatever works best for you!
Plus, it’ll help cash-strapped teachers like you plan projects for Red Ribbon Week using only markers. Yes, you can watercolor paint with markers! This art project includes a ribbon template for easy drawing.
What’s Included
I’ve designed 3 different ways for students to attempt this art project. All will motivate kids to create! Choose which way works best for your classes:
- Roll a dice game to add randomness to your student’s artwork
- “You Pick” art worksheet for kids to choose their own patterns
- Digital spinner wheels, so kids can randomly pick patterns and you can integrate technology
- Printable dice template in case you have no dice
- Step-by-step picture directions to guide students through the art process
- Red Ribbon Week Template which kids can draw directly on it or transfer it to heavy drawing paper
- Drawing practice worksheet, so kids can practice drawing patterns
- 2 Be Drug-Free Writing Prompts, so you can tie this drawing project to literacy
- 2 Red Ribbon Week Coloring pages that you can use for absent students or hand out as a classroom prize
- Helpful Tips & Tricks handout with teacher directions to help guide the lesson
- Step by Step Video Tutorial, with optional captions
