Free printable story drawing prompts for kids

Each draw-a-story page places the pack’s line art in the first frame and leaves room for what happens next: First, Then and At the end. Children can draw, tell or write the story. There is no single right answer.

How to play

  1. Look at the picture in the first frame together and give the character a name.
  2. Ask what happens next and let your child draw the middle scene.
  3. Draw an ending, then retell the whole story from the first frame.

Children who are not writing yet can tell the story aloud while a grown-up writes a few words. Older children can add their own sentences in each frame.
