About this resource
Description
This you write the story soccer picture worksheet gives second graders one lively picture and asks them to turn it into a story. A girl has just kicked a soccer ball, and it is flying toward a boy in glasses who is crouched in front of the goal with his arms spread wide. Will he stop it? Nothing on the page says who these two players are, what game they are playing, or how it ends. That is the point. The picture hands students a moment of action, and the eight writing lines below give them room to build a whole story around it.
Picture prompts work because they take away the hardest part of writing for a young student, which is finding something to write about, while leaving every real choice in place. The scene shows the middle of the action. Students still have to name the characters, explain what is happening, and carry the story to an ending. The directions ask for exactly that, so a student who writes one caption has not finished, while a student who names both players and tells what happens after the kick has.
What’s Included
- A single-page narrative writing prompt sized for letter paper
- An original full-color picture of two children playing soccer at a goal
- Eight writing lines at a second grade handwriting height
- Clear directions asking students to name the people and tell what they do next
- A name and date line at the top of the page
- The you write the story soccer picture worksheet as a printable PDF
Three Reasons This Helps Kids
- It removes the blank page. Students who freeze at an empty prompt have an exciting moment to describe, so the pencil starts moving right away.
- It practices the parts of a narrative. Naming characters, setting the scene and telling what happens next are the skills second grade narrative standards ask for, and this page asks for all of them at once.
- Every story is different. Because each response is the student’s own, the page works as well for a strong writer filling every line as for a student writing four careful sentences.
Teacher and Parent Ideas
Use this 2nd grade narrative writing worksheet as morning work, in a writing center, or as a warm up before a narrative unit. Before anyone writes, ask the class whether the ball goes in and let a few students argue both endings. List some possible names for the two players on the board, then let students pick their own. Afterward, have volunteers read their stories aloud so the class hears how one picture led to many different endings. At home, ask your child to tell the story out loud first, then write it down. The sheet prints cleanly in black and white for homework folders and substitute plans.
