Surfboard Drawing Art Game
Need no prep, fun summer art activities? Imagine these surfboard drawing 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 themed art projects using only markers. Yes, you can watercolor paint with markers! This surfboard art project includes a surfboard 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 surfboard art project helps. Finally keep all kids engaged!
What’s Included
I’ve designed 3 different ways for students to attempt this summer art activity. 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
- Surfboard 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 Writing prompts, so you can tie this drawing project to literacy
- 2 Surfboard 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

My students enjoyed this very much, but unfortunately, the watercolor markers bled when we added water to our drawings. I used the spinners, and it added extra fun to the class. I will do it again, but I will have to experiment more with the markers.
