About this resource
Description
A bear shape book activity gives young writers a cozy reason to put their ideas on paper. Children love to make their own books, and a book shaped around a big friendly bear feels special from the very first page. Writing about where bears live, what they eat, or a bear in a favorite story helps kindergarten students practice turning their thoughts into words, one sentence at a time.
This printable booklet has two pages. The cover shows a large sitting bear outline to color, with a line for the title of the book and a line for the author’s name. The writing page has a Name and Date line, the prompt “Write about bears. Tell what a bear likes to eat.”, eight tall writing lines sized for kindergarten handwriting, and a border of bear things to color: a pine tree, a honey pot, a berry branch, and a pinecone. Print the pages, staple them together, and let each child become an author. Because every child writes their own ideas, answers will vary.
What’s Included
- A booklet cover with a big sitting bear outline to color
- Title and By lines so each child names the book and signs it as the author
- A writing page with eight tall, evenly spaced lines for kindergarten writers
- A border of four bear things to color at the bottom of the writing page
Why This Worksheet Helps Kids
- Making a book of their own gives beginning writers pride and a reason to finish their work.
- Tall, evenly spaced lines help children form letters at a steady size and leave spaces between words.
- Coloring the bear and the border builds the same hand muscles children use to hold a pencil.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Use this kindergarten bear writing booklet during a forest animals unit, after reading a bear story, or in the fall when bears get ready to hibernate. Before writing, list foods bears eat, such as berries, honey, fish, and nuts, on the board so children can copy the words. Some students will write one word, others a full sentence, and some may draw and label a picture. Add more writing pages for students who want to keep going, then invite each author to read the finished book to a partner or take it home to share. The bear shape book activity also works well in a writing center.
