Create and Write with Legos {a Descriptive Writing Activity}

My kids all love Lego bricks. So when we can use them for schoolwork in any fashion, it’s a win-win for everyone! ALuv {currently 2nd grade} recently worked on the genre of descriptive writing a bit. I whipped up a quick Lego-themed graphic organizer for him to use for some descriptive writing.

Descriptive Writing with Lego Bricks: Step-by-Step

This descriptive writing activity is easy-peasy to use with one child or multiple students!

First, students build their creations.  Let them be as creative as they’d like to be.

Next, they use this graphic organizer to jot down phrases that describe their creations. {I’ve updated the organizer by adding a little pizzazz since this photo. There are four colored organizers from which kids may choose: black & white, red, pink, and blue.}

Last, they write about their creation on this free writing paper or on their own.  There are two kinds of writing paper provided: lined paper {like you see pictured above} for younger students and one for older. I’ll be sharing more about the writing process of his piece in the next lesson of Simple Writing Lessons!

More variations of this activity are included in the printable, one of which is a fun riddle game kids can play as they practice some descriptive writing!
