Pass the Painting

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

After reading a story or informational text describing an animal, your class gets creative and collaborative with paint. In groups, they brainstorm all the parts of an animal, they then take turns painting those parts. One child starts and when the teacher says, "Pass the paint" they pass the paper to the next child.
