Summer Activities Art Project Bundle

Need no prep, summer activities for elementary art? These engaging, step by step drawing tutorials for summer are quick and use simple materials. Fun roll a dice art games for the 4th of July, end of the year activities, and summer. They’re perfect emergency art sub plans!

And, they’ll help time-starved teachers like you create Summer bulletin board displays for May, June, July, and August. No more searching for fun summer projects, drawing templates, PowerPoints, and writing prompts online. Each art activity comes out different, too.

Choose between a dice game, ‘you pick’ worksheet, or digital spinners to pick patterns. Differentiate your instruction easily.

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 projects for summer will keep all kids engaged!

What’s Included

I’ve designed 3 different ways for students to attempt any of these summer art lessons for elementary. All will motivate kids to create! Choose which way works best for your classes:

• Roll a dice games to add randomness to your student’s artwork
• “You Pick” art worksheets for kids to choose their own patterns
• Digital spinner wheels, so kids can randomly pick patterns and you can integrate technology
• Printable dice templates in case you have no dice
• Drawing templates, for a beach bucket, beach ball, sailboat, pinwheel, ice cream cone, firecracker, hot air balloon, sunshine’s and surfboard. Kids can draw directly on it or transfer it to heavy drawing paper
• Step-by-step picture directions to guide students through the art process
• Drawing practice worksheet, so kids can practice drawing patterns
• Summer writing prompts, so you can tie this drawing project to literacy
• Summer coloring sheets 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

Love these for my Fun Friday Art days, game days or sub lessons!  The students get so excited hoping the pattern they like is rolled and they’re super fun! We’re big fans of Glitter Meets Glue for stress free fun!

My class loves this! at first they only did a large pattern in the sections but saw that it looked better if they took their time.  Thank you soooooooo much.
