About this resource
Description
Telling a story from a picture is where narrative writing starts, and the You Write the Story Coffee Shop Picture Worksheet gives second graders one warm, busy moment to build a whole story around. The picture shows a child at a coffee shop counter pointing at a plate of muffins while the shop worker smiles down at the one he picked. Nothing is spelled out for the writer: who these two people are, what the child says next, and how the visit ends are all decisions the student gets to make, which is exactly the kind of thinking a narrative asks for.
About This Worksheet
This is a one-page picture prompt. Students look closely at the illustration, name the people in it, and write a story that tells what is happening and what happens next. Eight wide, solid writing lines sit under the picture with plenty of room for second-grade handwriting, so the page never runs out of space in the middle of a good idea. Because every story will be different, there is no single correct response to compare against — this page is about ideas, sequence, and detail.
- One full-colour picture prompt set in a coffee shop
- Directions that ask students to name the characters and tell what they do next
- Eight wide writing lines sized for second-grade handwriting
- A clean, uncluttered page with a name and date line
- A print-and-go PDF for classroom, homeschool, or centre use
Three Reasons This Helps Kids
- A picture removes the blank-page problem, so reluctant writers have something concrete to start from.
- Naming the characters turns a description into a story with people in it, which is the first move in narrative writing.
- “Tell what they do next” pushes students past listing what they see and into sequencing events.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Use the You Write the Story Coffee Shop Picture Worksheet as a whole-class warm up: talk about what the picture shows, list strong words on the board, then let students write quietly. It also works well as a partner activity, where two students write about the same picture and read their very different stories to each other. For a 2nd grade narratives worksheet you can reuse all year, pair it with a quick editing checklist and have students go back and add one detail to each sentence. Early finishers can turn the page over and draw what happens after the story ends.
