‘Pom Pom At The Beach’ A Fun Writing And Drawing Activity (4 years +) - Activity Pack
English Resource Description
"Pom Pom At The Beach" is an engaging activity pack designed for children aged 4 years and above, combining creative writing and drawing to explore a beach setting. In this activity, children are invited to imagine Pom Pom, a character who is dreaming of a day at the beach. They are prompted to draw Pom Pom playing on the sandy shores and then embark on a word unscrambling challenge to identify various items Pom Pom might find at the beach, such as shells and seaweed. Children are also asked to tick items that shouldn't be found on a beach, highlighting environmental awareness. The activity continues with a list-making exercise where children write and draw things Pom Pom sees, like birds, fish, and other beach creatures, with additional inspiration provided by looking at other pages or researching online.
The educational journey with Pom Pom continues with identifying dangers on the beach, such as discarded plastic items, prompting discussions on the impact of litter on marine life. Children are tasked with matching sentences to the correct answers, learning why it's dangerous for wildlife to encounter plastic waste. The activity pack also includes a fun narrative about a naughty dog on the beach, where children fill in the blanks to complete the story, learning about the dog's antics and the consequences of interacting with beach debris. Lastly, the pack encourages children to write a story about Pom Pom's beach adventures, using prompts to describe her activities and feelings, and to draw her expressions, fostering both literacy skills and emotional intelligence.
