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.
