Grandpa’s House

Worksheet Description

The “Draw the Scene” worksheet is a captivating activity designed to combine reading comprehension with visual expression, tailored for preschool children. The exercise begins with a short description of a serene scene that the child is asked to visualize: a grandfather’s stone and wood house enveloped by trees, featuring a two-story structure with numerous windows and a wooden balcony, conjuring images of a peaceful, rustic setting. The narrative then invites the child to depict the grandfather’s garden, filled with a variety of vegetables that are tenderly watered using water from a nearby stream, suggesting a connection with nature and the simplicity of country life.

This worksheet not only encourages the young reader to practice their cognitive skill of mental imagery but also to translate that image onto paper, which aids in developing their fine motor skills and artistic abilities. On the opposite side of the house, the child is guided to illustrate a small path meandering towards a neighboring town, potentially adding elements of community and travel to their artwork. The bottom of the worksheet features a “How Did You Do?” section, with smiley faces for self-assessment, providing a gentle way for children to reflect on their satisfaction with the creative process. This open-ended activity fosters a love for storytelling, creativity, and self-expression in young learners.
